The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut (FOC) and the government in Massachusetts had several differences. The two statements that apply are:
-
The FOC limited the governor's power which expanded the idea of representative government. - The FOC established a system of government that included limited powers for the governor and emphasized a representative framework, which was a departure from more centralized forms of governance.
-
The FOC gave the vote to all men who were property owners. - The FOC granted voting rights to all property-owning men, which was more inclusive than the voting regulations in Massachusetts that often favored church members and landowners.
The other two statements do not accurately reflect the distinctions between the governments. The FOC did not impose strict requirements for slavery, and it did not increase the control of the King of England over the colony.
