They made their laws according to their religion.
Puritans based their laws on the Bible and their interpretation of God's will as revealed in scripture. They sought to create a society that adhered to strict moral and religious principles, often enforcing laws that aligned with their religious beliefs. Sins, such as adultery, blasphemy, and idleness, were punished to maintain a "godly" society.
Sparta is known for having harsh and strict laws, as part of its militaristic and disciplined society.
The divine moral and martial laws of 1612 were a set of rules established by Sir Thomas Dale in the English colony of Virginia. These laws aimed to impose strict discipline and order on the settlers, with harsh penalties for offenses such as disobedience, theft, and misconduct. The laws were based on principles of military obedience and strict adherence to hierarchical authority, reflecting the harsh conditions and need for control in the early days of the Virginia colony.
The term "blue laws" comes from the 18th-century usage of "blue" to mean strict or austere. These laws were regulations that enforced religious observance and restricted certain activities on Sundays, leading to the term "blue laws."
Legalism is a philosophy that emphasizes strict adherence to laws and authority, with the belief that people are inherently selfish and need strict laws to maintain order. Confucianism, on the other hand, focuses on moral values, social harmony, and personal development through the cultivation of virtues such as benevolence, righteousness, and filial piety. Confucianism emphasizes self-cultivation and ethical behavior, while Legalism emphasizes the use of strict laws and punishments to maintain social order.

Puritans believed that the government should strictly enforce their ideas of morality and human behavior, which were inspired by Catholic beliefs. The Puritans had a rather strict interpretation of morality and laws.
The Puritans believed that following God's exact teachings was what made them great. If one followed the religious beliefs, then they were considered "pure," or a Puritan. Anyone who did not follow God in any way was not "pure" and considered a descendant of Satan. They wanted their lives to be pure, not contaminated.
Yes, but now we have more strict laws about this.
The fundamental rules of the Puritans were obedience to God and to the community religious leaders. The rules included regulations against lust, greed, laziness, tempting Satan (through drinking, dancing, merry-making), and laws enforcing a strict Sabbath.
