1) Puritans did not want to separate from the Church of England. They wanted to "purify" it of practices they considered too Catholic. The Puritans believed that the holy Church did not abide by the biblical commands strong enough, and so they didn’t like that virtuous morals.
Pilgrims, on the other hand, were also called Separatists because they wanted to break all ties with the Church of England. They soon, fled from England around the early 1600’s, after being persecuted for their beliefs around.

2) The Mayflower compact and New England town meetings contributed to democratic governments in the colonies through open-town meetings. It allowed the adult male settlers to form their own self-government where everyone could share their thought processes.

3) Their argument was ironic because Roger Williams didn’t want religious oppression, and in response the Puritans got disbanded from the colony and he fled to Rhode Island, which was commonly known for it’s freedom of Religion. Later on, Puritans had an argument with Anne Hutchinson about the same issue as well; she believed that the worship of God can be done within homes, and people didn’t have to attend only Church for every Religious purposes. The puritans kicked Hutchinson out as well, and she also flew off to Rhode Island, blessed with the freedom of Religion in return.

Long-term effects of this war on Colonists were that they sought out to

Then the puritans saw their opportunity to seek refuge from the harsh theocratic government to start their own utopia for only puritans, in the early seventeenth century. The puritans had the idea of growing a closely-knit Christian society. Although the puritans lived up to somewhat of an extent on creating a utopian political system, they didn’t live up to their vision of: building colonies that were socially weak, and having a harsh religious system.…

    5) The Mayflower Compact and the House of Burgesses set the stage for American democracy. The House of Burgesses limited royal authority and increased citizen participation in the colonial government. The experimental democracy became the living example of how to create a democratic government for the United States. It seems that it became a model for other English colonies to follow.

    In opposition of the Puritans, the Pilgrims wanted nothing to do with the Church of England, and quickly separated, hence their “Separatist” title. Pilgrims still revolve around the similar idea of the gift of God’s grace, and unfortunately were quite often put in the situation where all they could look forward to is their next prayer. In these times of need, Bradford asks, “What could now sustain them but the spirit God and His Grace?” (Bradford, 61) Their idea of constant faith in the justness of God would set them apart in our present society, furthering their point of living through their values of God and his sovereignty.…
