Who could vote in a puritan society?

Answer 1

According to the charter, freemen were to meet and choose a governor and any other elected officials. "Freeman" was defined in the charter as any shareholder in the Massachusetts Bay Company, the group financing the colony. In May 1631, at the second meeting of the General Court set up by the colonists as a legislative and governing body, the freeman's oath was taken by 116 male colonists--just about all of the adult males of the small colony.

But at the same time that all these men were given the title and privileges of freemen, the officers of the Company decided amongst themselves that in the future, only church members would be allowed to become freemen. At that time, attending a Puritan church and being baptized in it did not make you a member. A member was someone who had completed a long and arduous spiritual journey toward Grace, and who had publicly narrated that experience and its end results before their church congregation, and had that statement accepted by the congregation.
