1.) Describe Cannon Law?
A. Cannon Law or also know as system of justice was to conduct people in the catholic church. Christians and kings were subjected to events like marriage, baptism, or any religious event.

2.) Describe what happened when this Law isn't followed ?
A.The hardest punishment faced were excommunication and interdict for violating Cannon Law. Excommunication meant if the kings disobeyed they were denied salvation and they had no political power. If the kings didn't care and still violated the law there was a more frightening weapon called interdict which was when the pope believed that if there were no sacraments or religious services in the kings lands there lives would be damned to hell which led to submit all the pope's command.
