The two correct responses that highlight how the government outlined in the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut (FOC) differed from the government in Massachusetts are:
1. **The FOC gave the vote to all men who were property owners.**
This expanded the voting rights beyond the narrow limits set in Massachusetts, where voting was often restricted to church members or specified property owners.
2. **The FOC limited the governor's power which expanded the idea of representative government.**
The FOC established a government with a balance of power and greater emphasis on the role of the legislature, contrasting with the more centralized authority seen in Massachusetts.
The other options do not accurately reflect the distinctions in governance between the FOC and Massachusetts.

The best statement that describes the governmental relationship with England established in the Middle Colonies is:
**Each had a different system based on the charter agreed upon with the king of England.**
This reflects the fact that the Middle Colonies were a mix of proprietary colonies, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which were governed according to their own charters granted by the king, rather than all being under a uniform royal governance structure.

The Pilgrims landed in 1620 at Plymouth, which is in present-day Massachusetts. Without a visual reference to the arrows you mentioned, I cannot definitively identify which numbered arrow represents that area. However, if you have a map or further contextual information illustrating the arrows, the arrow pointing towards Plymouth or the southeastern coast of Massachusetts would be the correct answer. If you can indicate which numbered arrow corresponds to that area, I can confirm if it's the correct choice.
