Section A
Answer Question 01.
Source A
From ‘A Code of Public Behaviour’, 1534. Laws drawn up by the Twelve Elders of
Münster. The Elders became the governing body once the Anabaptists had control of the
city.
Whoever curses God and His Holy Name shall be killed.
No one will curse governmental authority on pain of death.
Whoever does not obey his parents shall die.
Those who commit sexual sins shall die.
Concerning slander, there shall be no slander or flattery among the people. 5
What the Holy Scriptures command or prohibit is to be accepted by everyone at the pain
of punishment.
What the Elders have found to be good is to be proclaimed and announced by the
prophet John of Leiden as faithful servant of the Most High.
When a stranger who does not adhere to our religion comes to this holy city, he is to be 10
referred to the sword-bearer Bernhard Knipperdolling so that he can talk to him. This is
not to be done by anyone else.
A baptised Christian is not to speak with any arriving person and is not to eat with him for
they will be suspected of treachery.
