The Half-Way Covenant allowed the unsaved children of Puritans to become church members in 1662. It provided a way for individuals who hadn't experienced a conversion experience to participate in the church community and have their children baptized.
Puritans spent their time primarily focused on religious activities such as attending church services, reading and studying the Bible, and engaging in prayer. They also believed in hard work, so much of their time was dedicated to tasks like farming, household chores, and craftsmanship. Additionally, Puritans valued education and placed a strong emphasis on teaching their children and community members.
The Puritans adopted the Halfway Covenant to address a decline in church membership in New England by allowing partial church membership for the children of existing members. This helped maintain a sense of community and stability within the Puritan society, despite a decrease in religious fervor among younger generations.
The Puritans were a group of English Protestants who sought to purify the Church of England. They originated in England during the late 16th century, mainly coming from the counties of East Anglia and the West Country. Some Puritans later migrated to America in the 17th century to establish colonies based on their religious beliefs.
The Puritans lived in small towns as a way to create close-knit communities that shared their religious beliefs. They believed in establishing communities where they could practice their religion freely and govern themselves according to their beliefs. Small towns also helped them maintain social order and discipline among their members.

The original Puritans had a conversion experience and then became full members of the church. Then they were eligible to get married in a Puritan church, have their babies baptized, and be buried by the church. When their babies became of legal age, they did not have the conversion experiences of the original Puritans. They still wanted to participate in the church rituals. The half way convenient was created for them. They would become church members but not voting church members unless and until they had a conversion experience. They could get married, get their children baptized, and get buried in the church.
The contract theory holds that government was created by a mutual agreement among the members of society.
