What was the result when a military coup seized power in Ghana

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The 1966 coup, called by its perpetuators as Cold Chop Operation, refers to the civic-military action perpetuated in Ghana on February 24, 1966, which overthrew the one-party and autocratic government of Kwame Nkrumah and established a military dictatorship calling itself the National Liberation Council. Nkrumah was not in Ghana at the time of the coup, but on a diplomatic trip in China, so he quickly went into exile in Conakry, Guinea.

Initially carried out with immense popular support, and even with the active participation of several disgruntled government officials, the resulting military government quickly lost support largely due to its delay in calling for elections (one of its main promises). Finally, the military regime organized the transition to a civil government, maintaining the republican system as a form of government but restoring the parliamentary democracy that the country had before its passage to presidentialism in 1960. Free elections were held on August 29, 1969 and the NLC handed the power on October 1 of that same year.

The 1966 coup, despite being historically justified as necessary to put an end to the abuses and economic erosion under the Nkrumahist regime, inaugurated a persistent political and institutional instability in the country, which would open a repetitive coup-election cycle in 1972, 1979, and 1981. Since the democratic restoration in 1992, there have been no coups d'etat in Ghana.

In Martin Luther's 95 Theses, what does Luther say about buying pardons (indulgences)?

Answers

Answer:

It was the selling of indulgences - i.e., God’s pardon bought for money — that enraged him and led to him posting his 95 Theses. He condemned it. God’s forgiveness is free for the asking. It is not for sale.

Answer:

In his 95 Theses, Martin Luther criticized the Catholic Church's practice of selling indulgences as a means to reduce the amount of punishment one would receive in purgatory. Luther argued that salvation could not be bought and that the true path to salvation was through faith and repentance. Specifically, Luther criticized the idea that the purchase of indulgences could release someone from all punishment, and he questioned the authority of the Pope to grant such indulgences. He also argued that the preaching of indulgences undermined the true message of the Gospel and caused people to focus on external acts rather than internal faith. These criticisms were a key part of Luther's broader challenge to the authority of the Catholic Church and helped to spark the Protestant Reformation.
