Module 3

1. Module 3, Lesson 1 Assignment: Guided Questions for Speech
1. Elizabeth had power over both church and state. In 1559, under the Acts of Supremacy and
Uniformity and upheld by the New Prayer Book, Elizabeth's Church of England was established. All
spiritual needs were met under the reforms, except the extreme left wings of Catholicism and
Protestantism, whose beliefs were outrageous in the eyes of the Queen. With the Act of Supremacy
papal authority was abolished, defining Elizabeth as Supreme Governor of the Church. The Act of
Uniformity required that all citizens worship on a regular basis according to the rites and ideologies of
an open prayer book. There were heavy fines for those who did not attend. She also had the power of
life and death and could order executions as necessary - including that of her half-sister, Mary.
2. It is impossible to be liked by everyone. Queen Elizabeth the First was possibly the most popular
English monarch to this day, although she possibly was doubted and sneered appon by those who
thought that a woman could not rule. Queen Elizabeth the Second is not a popular as Elizabeth the First
was, and this is possibly due to the fact that royalty does not play as large a role in every-day life
anymore.
