\beloved brothers in christ, here again we should see and admire the boundless love of god toward us, that he has placed over us this great empire of the ottomans. the empire is a mighty obstacle to the latin heretics in the west. by contrast, to us, the orthodox people of the east, the empire has been a means of salvation. for god has continued to put into the heart of the sultan of these ottomans an inclination to keep free the religious beliefs of our orthodox faith and to protect us, even to the point of occasionally chastising christians who deviate from their faith.
brothers, lately you would have heard a lot about this new system of liberty originating in france. but let us examine the concept more carefully to see if it can be reconciled with good civil government and safety for the citizens. we see from the example of the french republic that a national, democratic form of government can only provide liberty if the word is taken to mean the freedom to simply act upon ones appetites and desires. but true christian liberty, properly understood, means something quite different: to be free to live according to both divine and human laws. in other words, it is to live free to follow your conscience and free of any trouble with the authorities. seen in this light, the new french system of liberty is a path leading to destruction, confusion, overturning of good government, or, simply speaking, a new ambush of the devil to lead us orthodox christians astray.\

question 6 of 27

Explanation:

Source 1 praises the Ottoman Empire, frames it as a protector of Orthodox faith, and rejects French-style "liberty" that would alter existing political/religious structures, so it does not support changing political boundaries for national states. Source 2 focuses on reviving the Hungarian language to preserve national identity but does not explicitly advocate for redrawing political boundaries to create a separate Hungarian state. Neither source explicitly supports the idea of changing existing political boundaries for national states.

Answer:

D. Neither Source 1 nor Source 2 explicitly supports the idea.
