The Spanish Inquisition connects to our society because Spanish Inquisitions would go to houses and collected information about "heretics" and would go to court to prove that they were innocent. it is like when police come to your house and try to arrest you if they have evendents that they think that you did something to cause you to go to jail.The Spanish Inquisition also connects to our world today because in the Holicost, they would target jews and send them away. In the Spanish Inquisition, they would target Jews so that they would reinforce "Anti-Semitic attitudes in Spain. it also connects to when i learned about the Franks. Charlemagne, the ruler of the Franks, tried to turn all of the Germans into Christian.And for the medival times, Spanish Inquisitions would change the jews to learn about Christianity. So the Spanish Inquistions can relate to alot in our society. M.D.A Works Cited

//**Describe, define or explain this topic.**//

The Spanish Inquisition, which was active mainly from 1480 to 1530, was a horrible law that punished Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity but still practiced their own beliefs. The Pope allowed Spanish rulers to establish the inquisition in 1478 because there were accusations that the Jews were practicing Judaism secretly. The Spanish Inquisition was run by a counsel called the Suprema, and it had power over baptized Christians only. Within the Spanish territories, there were many tribunes. These tribunes focused mainly on making sure all Spanish colonists shared the same Catholic beliefs. The Inquisitors often visited towns looking for information about heretics. If it was thought the charges of heresy were true, the court arrested the accused person and seized his property to pay for the cost of the trial. Occasionally, the tribunals used torture to get information. Hopefully, this tragic time in history has helped the world to understand the importance of tolerance and acceptance of religious differences. EH Works Cited

//**What was the impact of this topic on today's society?**//

My topic is the Spanish Inquisition. Do you know anything about it? There was a monk named Tomas De Torquemada. He became the ruler of the Spanish Inquisition. There was a famous procedure of inquisition was called the auto-DA-Fe, it was a public ceremony. Tribunals were set up from Spain and into the Spanish territories in Sicily. Tribunals were making sure that all of the Spanish colonist shared the same Catholic beliefs. The Spanish Inquisition was the most active at 1480 to 1530. The authorities carried out the death sentence. This is like today's impact because you can tell how it was back then and you can see what it is like today. So now you know about the Spanish Inquisition and how it worked. JG Works Cited
