Thomas Hooker left the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636 due to disagreements with the colony's leadership and its strict Puritan policies. He advocated for more democratic principles and greater religious freedom, believing that all men should have the right to vote regardless of church membership. Hooker and his followers eventually settled in Connecticut, where they established a new government based on these ideals, leading to the Fundamental Orders of 1638, considered by some as the first written constitution in America.
