Suppose that you will be helping defend Jan Hus in his trial for heresy. What arguments would you present to the council on his behalf? Use his biography to write a brief statement in which you outline Hus's beliefs and explain why the council should side with him.

Answer:

Hus's beliefs are the following: nations should have the ability to supervise church activities, scripture should have greater authority than the church, the pope could prove immoral and was capable of making mistakes while leading the Church. The council should side with Jan Hus because his beliefs are fair, logical, and reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the actual trial, Hus refused to deny some of his beliefs unless authorities could prove them false. Simply because of this, Hus was given the consequence of burning to the stakes. The councils did this since they possibly knew deep down that Hus's beliefs were rightful, yet because he was not bowing down to or being obedient with the rest of the people within the religious beliefs, the councils wanted him to be gone in order to prevent any more people like him.

I hope this helps you in any shape or form.
