The father of Democracy
Many historians refer to Thomas Hooker as the "Father of Connecticut" due to his pivotal role in founding the colony and shaping its early governance. He was a prominent Puritan minister who advocated for greater religious and political freedom, influencing the development of democratic principles in the region. Hooker's leadership in drafting the Fundamental Orders of 1638-1639 is often cited as a significant step toward modern constitutional democracy.
