Puritans and congressional church structure lead to what type of government structure?
The Puritan emphasis on a congregational church structure, where individual congregations governed themselves, influenced the development of a democratic government structure in early America. This model promoted ideas of self-governance and community decision-making, which were reflected in the establishment of town meetings and local governance. The belief in the "priesthood of all believers" encouraged civic participation and a sense of accountability among citizens, laying the groundwork for democratic principles that would shape American political life.

The most fervent Puritans believed that the Church of England was corrupt because it did not restrict its membership to visible saints who had experienced conversion?
The main objection among Puritans to the Church of England was the importance it attached to 'the Church, the ministry and the sacraments'. ('Ministry' here means priests and bishops). Puritans didn't like top-down church government and regarded the zest of some Anglicans for ritual as closet Roman Catholicism. Only a minority of Puritans wanted membership of the Church confined to those showing 'visible signs of regeneration (rebirth)'. Even these Puritans were often willing to accept some other members. Many Puritans still hoped for a national church, and that implied a broadly based church. Please bear in mind that there were differences among the Puritans; they were not a monolithic group.
