  10. How does this event affect other levels of civilization? Socially: people did not have the right to practice their own religions (some religions were tolerated but could not be practiced in public), own property, or have a decent job

  11. RELIGIOUS TOLERATION: Jews restricted to certain jobs Jews were not allowed to own land or worship in public Nuisance tax removed; allowed more freedom in job selection
