Penn wanted his colony to be a model to the rest of the world. The Quakers who moved there would be able to live simple lives. Penn thought it was important for the settlers in Pennsylvania to have a religious freedom. He also believed the colony should have a fair government. Penn set up the government himself. It was much like a democracy, where the people made decisions by voting.
