Answer 1

The correct answer is A) Growing challenges by dissenters to civil authorities.

The development in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1630s best represented by the excerpt by Anne Hutchinson is "Growing challenges by dissenters to civil authorities."

Founded to be the "city upon a hill," the Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded by John Winthrop in 1630. He was interested in establishing protestant reformations and freely practice their strict religious teachings. Puritans also tried to convert the Native American Indians tribes into Christianity.

However, the settlement had its political difficulties, as was the case when Puritans showed no tolerance to the criticism expressed by Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson, who had to leave the Massachusetts Bay Colony and founded the Rhode Island colony.
