In the New England colonies, the Puritans believed that it was the responsibility of the government to enforce moral behavior.
Puritans were English Protestants and followers of the teachings of John Calvin and other Protestant reformers. They wanted to ‘purify’ the Church of England by eliminating all vestiges of Catholicism from its practices.
New England colonies sprang up in the 17th century, and Puritan families flocked here from the 1960s, mainly to escape religious persecution in their home country. Here, they sought to strictly impose a reformed Protestantism. A core belief they held was that the government should be responsible for enforcing moral behavior.
