Clergy- the body of all people ordained for religious duties, especially in the Christian Church.
Sacrament- a religious ceremony or ritual regarded as imparting divine grace, such as baptism, the Eucharist
Canon Law- ecclesiastical law, especially (in the Roman Catholic Church) that laid down by papal pronouncements.
Holy Roman Empire- a multi-ethnic complex of territories in Western and Central Europe that developed during the Early Middle Ages.
Lay Investiture- The appointment of religious officials (commonly bishops) by secular subjects.

Outcome- Otto was crowned emperor.
Cause- Church felt that bishops shouldn't be under the power of the king.
Outcome- Henry IV was excommunicated and German bishops sided with the pope.
Cause- Tried to win the pope's forgiveness.
Outcome- The pope won victory by humiliating him.
Cause- Gregory & Henry's successors fought over lay investiture until 1122.
Outcome- The Compromise, the Concordat of Worms was made.

Otto gained support from the church.
The lay investiture disagreed over who had the power to appoint church officials.

Liberal Democracies today, have some of the same characteristics as I previously stated such as balance and separation of powers, and a system of checks and balances. The origin of Liberal Democracy traces back all the way to 18th Century Europe also called "The Age of Enlightenment" when philosophers advocated people's liberty.
