Pennsylvania was an earlier English North American colony set up by William Penn. Penn being a political admirer was the supporter of democracy and spiritual freedom. He is renowned for his treaties with the Lenape Natives of the United States and for the construction of Philadelphia.

His belief of intolerance was a great virtue that helped him in the foundation of Pennsylvania. Penn belonged to the Quaker community and always laid emphasis on strengthening his community. When he observed that his thought is creating a difference in his community, he modified his thought and overrode the differences and resumed his missionary work in Holland and Germany. His views were creating split in the community as some of the citizens where favoring Penn’s formulation and some of them where favoring Fox formulation.
