The two statements that apply to how the government outlined in the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut differed from the government in Massachusetts are:
1. **The FOC gave the vote to all men who were property owners.** - The Fundamental Orders extended voting rights to all property-owning men, while Massachusetts had stricter requirements, often limiting voting to church members.
2. **The FOC limited the government's power which expanded the idea of representative government.** - The Fundamental Orders established a framework that emphasized a more democratic and representative form of governance compared to the stricter controls in Massachusetts.
The other options are not accurate: the Fundamental Orders did not outline strict requirements for slavery, and they actually sought to create a more independent governance structure, which would have reduced control from the King of England, rather than increasing it.
