Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pietism was a movement in Protestant Christianity that emphasized personal holiness and the idea that humans were inherently sinful and in need of salvation. This belief led to the idea that a strong, repressive government was necessary to maintain order and prevent sin. It was particularly influential in Germany in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
