See the Edict of Milan (page 252). What is Constantine trying to do with this edict (which was sent to all the governors)? How specifically does he try to please everybody? But how might this edict only further enrage Roman citizens? Does it truly resolve the concerns and worries of pagan Romans?

Explanation / Answer
Constantine , is a recent christian convertor along with his fellow emperor Liciniu s, meets at a common place and discusses about the official policy of religion.
They both agreed to abolish the restrictions on christianity and thereby claiming religious liberty.
The Edict of Milan is a message , which was sent to the governors in eastern provinces.
Thus , by taking such a decision , it helped / benefitted huge number of people. The religion which is followed by the people must be done in free mind. Hence allowing customary favour and kindness in all matters .
The restrictions which were present earlier , before the abolishment are now removed . The devotees can now do freely , which they were not supposed to do previously.
An absolute freedom , is what now prevails in order to practice their religion.
Constantaine , won a victory in the civil war at the battle of the Milvian Bridge in Rome in 312. He attributed his victory in the name of Christian good will . Thereby , declaring himself as a christrian emperor.
After the victory , he compelled all the rivals for power in the empire to allow religious toleration.
No , it did not make the Romans worry . As Constantaine , provided safety . So , there was no issue of getting worried.
