Winthrop was a Puritan and the leadership of Massachusetts was strictly Puritan, abiding by a religious code of ethics that became law.
Massachusetts was self-governed primarily through its colonial charter, which granted it significant autonomy in local affairs. The Massachusetts Bay Colony established a General Court, which functioned as a legislative assembly, allowing colonists to create laws and govern themselves. Town meetings also played a crucial role, enabling local citizens to make decisions on community issues directly. This blend of representative and direct democracy fostered a strong sense of local governance and civic participation.
