Thomas Hooker started a settlement in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1636. He led a group of Puritans seeking greater religious freedom and established a community based on democratic principles. This settlement later became part of the Fundamental Orders of 1638-1639, which is considered one of the first written constitutions in the Western tradition. Hooker's leadership was instrumental in shaping the political landscape of the early New England colonies.
