Question

why was it significant that the court allowed supernatural evidence during the salem witch trials?
it was nearly impossible to disprove, which led to more convictions.
it led to increased confusion because both the accusers and accused could use the supernatural to prove their case.
it accidentally led to the puritans proving the devil wasnt real.
it established a precedent that the salem courts followed for nearly 100 years.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Supernatural evidence was hard to disprove. In the Salem Witch Trials, this lack of dis - provability meant more people could be convicted. The other options are incorrect as there is no evidence that it led to proving the devil wasn't real, it didn't create a 100 - year precedent, and while there was confusion, the main consequence was more convictions due to the difficulty of disproving such evidence.

Answer:

It was nearly impossible to disprove, which led to more convictions.
