John Winthrop was chosen the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony
Only stockholders in the Company had the right to vote
Settlers resented taxes and laws passed by a government that they had no say

Between 1629 and 1640, some 15,000 men, women, and children made the journey from England to Massachusetts
This movement of people is known as the Great Migration

In 1662, Connecticut became a separate colony, with a new charter granted by the king of England

Williams believed in religious toleration
Toleration means a willingness to let others practice their own beliefs
