Question

Which of the following best summarizes the relationship of the church and government of the Massachusetts Bay Colony?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is They made no distinction between affairs of the state and affairs of the church.

Explanation:

The Massachusetts Bay Colony was established by English settlers and funded by the Massachusetts Bay Company. Forming the New England region, the colony became highly successful and traded fur and other textiles.

This early settlement eventually became a modern town and even had it's own mint.

However, this was a very traditional settlement and people had a close relationship with the church. So much so, that most people did not consider  them two different institutions and accept the profound impact of religion on local governance.
