The two ways in which the government outlined in the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut (FOC) differed from the government in Massachusetts are:
1. **The FOC limited the governor's power which expanded the idea of representative government.** - The Fundamental Orders established a government with a framework that limited the governor's authority, promoting a more representative government compared to Massachusetts.
2. **The FOC gave the vote to all men who were property owners.** - The Fundamental Orders allowed all male property owners to vote, whereas Massachusetts had stricter voting requirements that often limited suffrage more than the FOC.
The other options regarding increased control by the King of England and strict requirements for slavery are not accurate in the context of the FOC compared to Massachusetts.
