Question 6 • MN-US History I-CR

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

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

Explanation

In both colonies, local government was largely organized by a limited group of adult men rather than by all residents. In Plymouth, adult male settlers took part in making community decisions, while in Massachusetts Bay, voting rights were restricted to adult male church members. So the best choice is “adult male colonists only.”
