Answer 1

Your answer is C) Mary I opposed the creation of the Church of England, while Elizabeth I fully supported it.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C). Mary I opposed the creation of the Church of England, while Elizabeth I fully supported it.

Elizabeth I's relationship with Mary, Queen of Scots dominated English and Scottish politics for 20 years.

Queen Elizabeth I wished to have a peaceful nation with a firm government system, free from the influence of foreign powers regarding religion and state control. She established a new inclusive religious settlement. She had to decide about allying England with other Catholic states, such as France and Spain or stayed protestant.

Mary I abolished the religious laws established by King Edward. She and her husband Philip wanted England to make peace with Rome. He tried to convince the Parliament to disapprove the Protestant religious laws authorized by King Edward, so they could return the English church to Roman control.
