Question 13 • NY-Global History and Geography I

What impact did the Justinian Code have on religion?

Answer
A
It prevented government from interfering in religion.
B
It made Christianity the national religion.
C
It made practicing religion illegal.
D
It gave priests control over the civil courts.

Explanation

The Justinian Code reflected the Byzantine Empire’s commitment to Christianity and supported the emperor’s authority to enforce Christian beliefs. Its laws restricted pagan practices and certain Christian groups considered heretical, rather than preventing government involvement in religion. So the best choice is that it made Christianity the national religion.
