A common idea in Plymouth Colony that was not prevalent in Massachusetts Bay Colony was the emphasis on religious tolerance and a more communal approach to governance. Plymouth Colony was founded by Separatists who sought a place for their religious beliefs, which led to a more inclusive atmosphere for differing viewpoints. In contrast, Massachusetts Bay Colony was established by Puritans who aimed to create a society based strictly on their religious principles, often leading to more rigid social and religious conformity.
It was the first permanent one because the colony at Roanoke disappeared and nobody has an idea of what happened to it.
The colony of Plymouth and the Massachusetts Bay Colony (MBC) played significant roles in shaping American independence and governance by establishing early forms of self-government and democratic principles. Plymouth's Mayflower Compact set a precedent for written governance and collective decision-making, emphasizing the idea of consent of the governed. Meanwhile, the MBC's emphasis on Puritan values fostered a sense of community and civic responsibility, which encouraged political participation and the idea of a government accountable to its citizens. These early experiments in self-rule contributed to the development of democratic ideals that would later influence the quest for independence from British rule.
Roger Williams was banished from Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636 because he stood for the idea that government should not interfere with religion.
"In 1636, Roger Williams, after being banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his religious views, settled at the tip of Narragansett Bay, on land granted to him by the Narragansett tribe. He called the site Providence and declared it a place of religious freedom. Detractors of the idea of liberty of conscience sometimes referred to it as "Rogue's Island".[14]"-Wikipedia

The "pilgrims" at Plymouth Colony were Separatists; they had given up on the idea of reforming the Church of England and wished to separate themselves from it.The colonists of Massachusetts Bay Colony (founded ten years later) were Puritans; they believed that the Church of England could still be reformed ("purified"). However, they did not think of themselves as "pilgrims"; the Massachusetts Bay Colony was primarily a business venture.
John Winthrop (12 January 1587/8[1] - 26 March 1649) was a wealthy English Puritan lawyer and one of the leading figures in the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the first major settlement in New England after Plymouth Colony.
"Colony" is a common noun. Common nouns are general, non-specific words that refer to a person, place, thing, or idea. In this case, "colony" refers to a group of people who have settled in a new place but remain under the control of their native country.
Since Plymouth colony was an early colony (1620) the US didn't exist in that time so it didn't change anything as far as the country is concerned, but what it did was set a format for the future. It laid out the basic ideas of how a society/government should run and that people had a say in that governance. This was a new idea for the time since the world was managed by kings/queens and the common man usually had no say in his government. The Pilgrims were not a true Democratic society, but they did try to give the male land holding members of the colony a means to have a say in the daily government of the colony.
Massachusetts is called The Bay State because of it's many bays. For example, Cape Cod Bay and the Massachusetts Bay.
