Answer:

The mid-Atlantic colony of Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn primarily because of his desire of religious freedom.

Explanation:

William Penn received the colony of King Charles II instead of paying a £16,000 debt owed by the Crown to his father, a naval hero, Admiral William Penn.

The establishment of the colony solved the problem of the growth of the Religious Society of Friends or "Quaker" movement born in England, which caused some embarrassment to the Church of England established before. While still in England, Penn wrote the First Frame of Government, which described the government structure of the colony and promised certain rights to citizens.

As part of the Middle Colonies, Pennsylvania was a proprietary colony. Unlike other proprietary colonies, its taxes were reinforced by the British Parliament. The colony was separated by the 42nd and 39th latitudes and the Delaware River to the east with an east-west distance of 5 degrees longitude. It was bordered by the colonies of New York, Maryland (defined by the Mason-Dixon Line in 1763), and New Jersey. The three counties of the Delaware colony, taken from the Dutch, were transferred to William Penn by the Duke of York in 1682, but regained by a deed a separate existence in 1704.
