The power taken by Ferdinand III for the Holy Roman Empire's constitution was taken away and given back to the rulers of the German states. The rulers of German states were able to independently decide their religious worship. Catholics and Protestants were seen as equal. Calvinism was given legal recognition. Protestantism was recognized as a religion. All parties would now recognize the Peace of Augsburg of 1555.
