Calvinism and the Roots of Federalism
Calvinism and the Roots of Federalism is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 3: The Protestant Reformation in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).
Key Concepts
The Reformation splintered into many groups. In Geneva, John Calvin established a strict society based on Predestination —the belief that God has already chosen who will be saved ("the Elect"). Despite its strictness, Calvinism had a unique structure.
Calvinist churches were governed by groups of elders elected by the congregation, rather than by a hierarchy of bishops appointed from above. This idea of Self Governing Congregations spread to Scotland (Presbyterians) and England (Puritans). Later, Puritans brought this concept to America, where it influenced the development of Federalism —a system where power is shared and leaders are chosen by the people.
