Hi there!
Marbury v. Madison and McCulloch v. Maryland are some of the earliest examples of landmark cases in the history of the Supreme Court. Their decisions, which have had lasting impacts on the interpretation of the Constitution, are vital to todays understanding of the federal government.
Marbury v. Madison established the policy of judicial review. Judicial review holds that the court has the power to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional should it be inconsistent with the Constitution. This put a sizable check on the power of Congress to pass laws and established the power of the court in the new government.
McCulloch v. Maryland established that when it comes to clashes between state laws and federal laws, federal laws will always trump state laws except for a few rare exceptions. This reaffirmed the power of the new national government and the broad sweeping power it had over the states.

The Council of Trent was an ecumenical council of the Catholic Church developed in discontinuous periods during twenty-five sessions between the years 1545 and 1563.
Although it did not manage to reunite the Christianity, the Council of Trento supposed for the Catholic Church a deep catharsis.
It was convened in response to the Protestant Reformation to clarify various doctrinal points. It also abolished the local eucharistic rites, respecting only those that had more than two centuries of antiquity (Mozarabic rite, Lyons rite, Ambrosian rite) and established the rite of the city of Rome known as Tridentine Mass, as a rite of the entire Latin church . From a doctrinal point of view, it is one of the most important and influential councils in the history of the Catholic Church.
On the other hand, the reform of ecclesiastical administration and discipline was addressed. The council eliminated many flagrant abuses, such as the sale of indulgences or the education of clerics, and forced the bishops to reside in their bishoprics, thereby preventing the accumulation of charges.
Modern era or period refers to a time after post-classical history. It can be divided in the early era (16 Th. century) and late modern era (18 Th. century).
Some examples of historical facts in the late modern era are American, French and Russian Revolution and the Industrial Revolution.
The spread of coal-powered factories has been characteristic of the modern era because coal was used to heat buildings, generate electricity and for steam engines. It generates energy for industry and transportation.
