The act you are referring to is likely the Fundamental Orders of 1638-1639. This document is considered by many to be one of the first written constitutions that created a government. Thomas Hooker, a Puritan minister, is credited with drafting it, and it established a framework for the governance of the Connecticut Colony. The Fundamental Orders extended voting rights to all men who owned property, regardless of church membership, which was a significant shift from the practices in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. It also limited the powers of the governor, promoting a more democratic form of governance.
