How tolerant were people of the 16th and 17th centuries to different faiths, ideas and behaviors? Do some regions or groups seem more tolerant of differences than others? If so, why do you think that might have been the case? Base your discussion on these 4 documents for Week 3:

any two of the following: Luther, Witch-Persecution, Galileo
and Jahangir and Ricci

State your argument (your thesis) in a brief introductory paragraph and then use the rest of the essay to discuss the FOUR documents and support your position. Your essay should be based on a careful, thoughtful evaluation of the details of the documents. Do not simply summarize the documents. Use them to answer the prompt. Some parts of the documents may be more relevant than other parts. If a document has conflicting evidence, be sure to consider that. Include some brief quotations from the documents to enrich your evidence.
Your paper should mainly consist of discussion and analysis of what the documents say. This is an analytical essay, not a research paper; you should not use outside sources for this assignment. Draw your evidence and your quotes from the documents themselves. Keep quotations brief. 
Do not rely too heavily on the introductions to the documents. Read them and learn from them. But if you use information from them, you should paraphrase (put into your own words) rather than quote. Don’t take up too much space (beyond a sentence here and there) relating the background to each writer and the context of each document.
The paper should be double-spaced, and use twelve-point Times New Roman font. Papers that fall well short of 1,000 words (about 3 pages using normal font and margins) will be penalized. You should not use footnotes or include a bibliography for this paper. Be sure to preface your quotes with a few words of your own, or integrate quotes into your prose. 
Be very careful to avoid plagiarism. Do not use words or ideas from the internet, from any publica­tion, or from the work of another student without citing your source. If you use more than three words in a row from any source, including the document you’re writing about, those words must be enclosed in quotation marks.
