Answer 1

B.)The Second Great Awakening was both larger and more historically influential than the First Great Awakening.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 1730s and 1740s, American participation in church and religious activities increased. Popular Christian churches used the Bible to teach that all men are equal, moral behavior determines worth, and people can be saved through service to God. The "Great Awakening" happened mainly in New England's traditional colonial religious groups. Ideas from this period influenced the American Revolution. After the American Revolution, many people felt their churches and religious leaders needed more excitement and inspirational sermons. Through the first half of the 1800s, religious activity peaked again, called the "Second Great Awakening." This time the movement was more widespread and had greater long-term effects on American society."

Answer 2

The statement that is most correct when comparing the Second Great Awakening with the First would be that "The Second Great Awakening was smaller in size and less historically influential than the First Great Awakening," since the First Great Awakening garnered international attention.
