Fartford has the most people in Connecticut
The most common bird in Connecticut is the sparrow.
New England had a democratic government. Puritan laws were strict and some even carried the death penalty. Most of the laws were based on religion. Once 21 women were killed for being accused of witchcraft. Hooker settled and wrote the fundamental orders of Connecticut in 1639. They took it from Massachusetts.
The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut of 1638. The Mayflower Compact dates from 1620; however, it describes itself only as a "covenant". It was, at most, an agreement to "combine ourselves into a civil body politic" to "to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony...unto which we promise all due submission and obedience."While the Fundamental Orders spoke to individual rights as an aspiration, the Compact did not. Those entering into the Compact simply swore fealty to the laws they professed their intent to make in the future; however, it made no attempt to define any governing principles whatsoever. The Fundamental Orders spoke to aspirations to elect magistrates and the method of their election (secret ballot); and, it specified powers of government, and specified limits thereto.Anyone who asserts that the Mayflower Compact was the first written constitution drawn up in America is quite simply wrong. It is no more than a writing recognizing an unwritten, evolving constitution and memorialized interrelated promises among the members of the colony to swear obedience to that future, undefined and as-yet-to-evolve constitution, without ever even describing "it". Such a document would fail to even qualify as a written contract even under the very lax rules of law defining writings which document a contract.
The document that most resembled the Articles of Confederation was the first constitution of the United States, known as the Articles of Confederation themselves, ratified in 1781. However, prior to the Articles, the "Fundamental Orders of 1638-1639" in Connecticut can be seen as a precursor, as it established a framework for self-government. Both documents emphasized a decentralized government structure, granting significant power to individual states while limiting the authority of a central government.
