Puritan churches consolidated power by intertwining religious authority with civic governance, establishing a theocratic system where church leaders held significant influence over political matters. They enforced strict adherence to their interpretation of The Bible, creating a social framework that prioritized community conformity and moral discipline. Additionally, the Puritan emphasis on a "covenant" community fostered a sense of collective identity and accountability, reinforcing the church's central role in both spiritual and societal affairs. This combination of religious and civic control allowed Puritan churches to maintain significant power and influence in New England society.
