Answer 1

The best response that compares the role of religion in early New England and Maryland is:

In Maryland, any religious practice was allowed, but early New England colonists wanted freedom of religion only for a particular form of practice.

This statement accurately reflects the differences in religious tolerance and the specific practices that characterized each region. Early New England, particularly with the Puritans, emphasized a specific version of Christianity, while Maryland, founded by Catholics, allowed for a broader range of religious practices.

Answer 2

u sure

Answer 3

Yes, I am confident in that response.

In early New England, especially under Puritan influence, the focus was on a specific interpretation of Christianity, leading to a society that emphasized conformity to that belief system. While there was some hope for religious freedom for practitioners of that particular form of Puritanism, the society was not welcoming to other faiths.

In contrast, Maryland was established as a refuge for Catholics and was notable for its policy of religious tolerance compared to many of the other colonies at that time. The Maryland Toleration Act of 1649 permitted the practice of all Christian religions, allowing for a more diverse religious landscape.

So, the statement about Maryland allowing any religious practice while New England sought freedom only for a specific form is an accurate comparison of their approaches to religion.
