What impact did Martin Luther have on the evolution of representative democracy?

A. Luther's 39 Theses eliminated the need for indulgences, giving people more money to establish a system of laissez-faire economics.

B. Luther's belief that no one could form a personal relationship with God led to the election of church officials who could act as religious counselors.

C. Luther's break from the Roman Catholic Church created a power vacuum, culminating in zealous monarchies that needed to be overthrown by rising local Protestant churches.

D. Luther's break from the governance of the Roman Catholic Church led to the establishment of locally elected governing councils.
