Who made the decisions in a family based community in north africa?

The answer is male elders. In terms of decision making in a family-based community, the elder male individuals are the ones making the decisions. The men had greater influence than women in Africa, men have dominated women, but women in Africa had more freedom than most countries. Elders of the community, or old men had huge amount of powers and influences over the extended household in the community.

During his reign as Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V (a member of the House of Habsburg) attempted to impose imperial hegemony over much of Europe, a move marked by his support of Catholicism and the Roman Church, and his fight against the Reformation; however,  the wars among different kingdoms and principalities and the spread of Protestantism in Germany were an obstacle for the realization of those ambitious goals.

Charles V accepted the Peace of Augsburg in 1555, what provided a political and legal basis for the separation of German states along religious lines, Catholic and Protestants. He abdicated in 1556 and his succcesor was Rudolf I of Habsburg. Until its final days in the 19th century, the empire was merely a loose federation of German Catholic principalities and kingdoms (Protestant states did not belong to it).
