The correct match is:
**Virginia - Economic reason**
Virginia was primarily founded for economic reasons, particularly for the purpose of profitable agriculture and the search for gold and other resources.
Here’s a brief explanation for the others:
- **Georgia - Religious reasons**: Georgia was founded as a place for debtors and the poor, with some religious motivations, but it was primarily seen as a buffer against Spanish Florida.
- **Maryland - Political reasons**: Maryland was founded as a haven for Catholics and has religious motivations, though it also had political reasons tied to land ownership and governance.
- **Pennsylvania - Economic reasons**: Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn as a haven for Quakers, and while there were economic aspects, it was more about religious freedom.
So "Virginia - Economic reason" is the best match from the options provided.

The correct response is:
**allowed all Christians to worship freely.**
In 1649, the Maryland Assembly passed the Maryland Toleration Act, which granted religious freedom to all Christians in the colony. This law was significant in establishing a precedent for religious tolerance in America, although it did not protect all religious groups.
