Question 23 • US History

Who organized the government in the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies?

Answer
A
the English Parliament
B
the king of England
C
adult male colonists only
D
all adult colonists

Explanation

In the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies, political participation was largely limited to adult men who met the colonies’ requirements, such as being church members in Massachusetts Bay. Thus, adult male colonists—not all adult colonists, Parliament, or the king—organized the colonial governments. The correct choice is “adult male colonists only.”
