The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut (FOC) did introduce some differences in government compared to Massachusetts. The correct options that apply would be:

A. The FOC gave the vote to all men who were property owners.
B. The FOC limited the governor's power which expanded the idea of representative government.

Options C and D do not accurately represent the differences between the governments as outlined in the FOC and those in Massachusetts. The FOC did not increase the control of the King of England, and it did not outline strict requirements for slavery.
