Answer:
b. As a place to resettle people who had been in prison
Explanation:
The original goal of the founders was to provide a place to resettle people who have been in prison and offer them a second chance in life. That colony would welcome ex-prisoners as well as debt-ridden people and poor persecuted protestants.
However, they changed their mind when came the moment to recruit colonists... and opted more for skilled workers and artisans.
The Declaration of Independence was signed July 4th, 1776.
