Luther was the most important person in the Reformation of the Roman Catholic Church. He was responsible for many important works and writings in the Church, Such as the Small Catechism, The 95 Thesis, and translations of the Holy Bible in many different languages. Luther was well known for his work mainly because he based his work on three main topics, Love for God, Sacraments, and Love for each other. Another important thing he taught was not to fear the laws and judgment of man but to fear the laws and judgment of God. In Luther’s life he went through many struggles.

Subjects, citizens, or residents who did not wish to conform to the prince's choice were given a period in which they were free to migrate to different regions in which their religion had been accepted by the rulers
