Because they believed that the devil was acting through witches and they believed that the devil was acting in their territories.
Explanation:
The New England region promoted many adverse situations for the colonists. The cold climate, the conflict between two native tribes in the region and the spread of smallpox cases made Puritan settlers believe that the devil was close to the region and that he would continue to act negatively on their lives.
For them the devil was able to act through witches and as the population was facing many problems (in addition to the many deaths that occurred), they began to distrust each other, which initiated a vast and crazy search for witches and signs of witchcraft in the population.
The classic example of this divide is how, traditionally, history curriculums approach the Civil War.
While this is less the case today, 25-50 years ago, if you grew up in the South, you would have learned about the "War of Northern Aggression"
If you grew up in the North, you would have learned about the American Civil War and the South's history of slavery and the war to end the slavery.
"Traditional" History is often written by those that were victorious, so it is remarkable to see how in the modern era voices are being heard that would not have been traditionally heard.

When the president appoints judges to serve in federal courts, they can remain on the bench for how long they wish. According to the "good behavior" principle, the only exception exists if a Congressional impeachment takes place (which is very rare). The lifetime appointment has its pros and cons:
<u>PROS</u>
- Judges' decisions are free from political pressure since they're not worried about whether they'll be reelected.
- The longer he/she spends on the bench allows them to develop a greater knowledge regarding the law and specific cases before them.
<u>CONS</u>
- Judges appointed for life might get comfortable and start creating their own laws from the bench.
- These judges under lifetime appointment are often subjected to bribes (political favors) and corruption.
