Seven electors chose the Holy Roman Emperor.

Except for the belief that there was only one acceptable way for a Christian to worship God, no beliefs were changed that I can think of. Science, exploration, mercantilism, and nationalism had already changed many Middle Ages beliefs before the Reformation began, and the power of the Catholic Church was lessened. The Reformation was about getting back to the basics of Christianity, and doing away with the corruption and ceremony which had become associated with it. The Catholics who became Protestants called the Catholics idolaters, and Catholics who remained Catholics called the Protestants heretics. No surprise that this disagreement became violent, but otherwise people stuck to their existing beliefs.

Time frame from 14th c - late 16th c.

The Church was right along with the explorers. A monk or priest was usually on ship with the crew. The crews of Columbus's ships said 50 prayers a day. They kept time with a half-hour glass and every time they turned the glass they said a prayer. They also conducted a prayer service at sunrise and sunset. The Church also considered the native peoples as "heathen" since they weren't Christian or Catholic, so they were there to introduce the thoughts and religion to the natives they found. A native American came back with Columbus and it took the Vatican 6 months to decide he was human. The explorers were also to save souls in the New World.

"The Renaissance is characterized by a focus on the arts of Ancient Greece and Rome, which led to many changes in both the technical aspects of painting and sculpture, as well as to their subject matter. It began in Italy, a country rich in Roman heritage as well as material prosperity to fund artists. During the Renaissance, painters began to enhance the realism of their work by using new techniques in perspective, thus representing three dimensions more authentically. Artists also began to use new techniques in the manipulation of light and darkness, such as the tone contrast evident in many of Titian's portraits and the development of sfumato and chiaroscuro by Leonardo da Vinci. Sculptors, too, began to rediscover many ancient techniques such as contrapposto. Following with the humanist spirit of the age, art became more secular in subject matter, depicting ancient mythology in addition to Christian themes. This genre of art is often referred to as Renaissance Classicism. In the North, the most important Renaissance innovation was the widespread use of oil paints, which allowed for greater colour and intensity."

Just to let y'all know, this answer is correct because I got it out of my social studies book. The sources that inspired the Renaissance artists and scholars was human life, and they used perspective. Perspective is a way of showing the depth and distance on a flat surface. I hope this was resourceful!:)
