Answer 1

The primary reason Thomas Hooker left the Massachusetts Bay Colony and founded the Connecticut Colony was to seek greater religious freedom and political independence. He believed in the principles of democracy and wanted to establish a community where the government was based on the consent of the governed, leading him to found a colony that allowed for more inclusive participation in government, particularly in terms of suffrage and religious practices.
