world. Give an example of a religious, political, or cultural institution that was challenged during the Scientific
Revolution and explain why it changed how people viewed the world

Answer 1

Heliocentric theory

Step-by-step explanation:

Back then in the 16 century, the Catholic Church taught that the Earth was in the center of the universe. Then, Copernicus did some astronomy and figured out that the Earth revolved around the Sun. The Church disliked the idea since it went against "God's ideas". They started arresting astronomers like Galileo to suppress the Heliocentric theory. Then, people started accepting the Heliocentric theory and realized they are not the center of the universe.

Answer 2

Answer: in Europe first scientific societies were born (17th century)...first state (royal) scientific institutions.

Explanation: In contrast to church, there is still no separation between state and science ("science" is what is officially - i.e. by state institutions - recognized as "science"). This connection between state and science started (in Europe) in 17th century as a result of scientific revolution. Many discoveries of that time received financial support from the state.
