<span>The Puritans separated from the
churches in their local parishes where preaching was viewed as
inadequate, hiring their own lecturers who were well-versed in reform
theology. These lecturers were prosecuted by the monarch and Church of
England officials. The last straw may have been when King Charles I
dissolved Parliament in 1629. This dissolution prevented Puritan leaders
from working within the system to effect change and left them
vulnerable to persecution. Moderate Puritans chartered the Massachusetts
Bay Colony in the same year. The New World represented both a refuge
from persecution and an opportunity to establish a “Zion in the
wilderness.” Puritans imagined their migration to the New World mirrored
the Biblical story of Exodus.
Between 1629 and 1640, over 20,000 men, women and children left
England to settle permanently in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the
Americas. When Parliament was re-established in 1640, migration dropped
drastically.</span>
<u>Answer:</u>
Bill of rights is the changes to the constitution which consist of first ten changes of the constitution in the United States. It promises certain rights and liberties to the people of that country.
Enumeration of rights means listing of the rights in the constitution which does not mean that people who do not have other basic rights which are not present and listed here. This has been said in the ninth amendment.
In guarding the Constitution in the Pennsylvania confirming convention, James Wilson asked who might 'be bold enough to undertake to enumerate all the rights of the people'.
He figured nobody could, yet cautioned that 'if the enumeration is not complete, everything not expressly mentioned will be presumed to be purposely omitted'. The Ninth Amendment, which provides that ''the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people''.
predestination, in Christianity, is the doctrine that God has eternally chosen those whom he intends to save.
How did the belief in predestination affect a Puritan in everyday life?
Predestination is a word that means that the Puritans believed that God had already chosen who was going to Heaven before the people were even put on this earth, and they must live a perfect life in order to stay in God's good graces so they wouldn't upset God and he wouldn't basically change His mind and send them to hell.
