It was a theocracy where religious leaders governed.
The Massachusetts Bay Colony was dominated by Puritan church leaders and required church membership for full political rights. Civil government (governor, magistrates, and the General Court) enforced religious conformity and Puritan moral law, so religious authority strongly shaped political rule.
