Puritan society was characterized by a strict moral code and a focus on religious devotion, emphasizing the importance of hard work, community, and education. Their communities were often close-knit, with a strong emphasis on family and church governance. Socially, they valued simplicity and piety, rejecting excess and promoting a lifestyle that aligned with their interpretations of The Bible. This led to a culture that was often intolerant of dissenting beliefs and practices, fostering a climate of conformity and, at times, persecution.

In New England the Puritans maintained a society government by what type of principles?
The Puritans developed a form of theocracy. They believed that the Church was all important and to follow the belief's of the Puritans, the Church and State (government) should operate as one. Puritans were followers of the teachings of Calvin and believed, like the Separatists, that man was born in sin and they all bore the guilt of Adam and Eve. To become saved, they would have to prove they were worthy while here on earth. To be worthy one would prosper, be faithful, and lead a successful life. Instead of separating from the Church of England, they wanted to “purify” the Church of the influence of the Catholic Church within the Anglican Church, thus the name, Puritans. Puritans wanted to remove themselves from non-Puritans. They originally wanted to leave Great Britain because they were not pleased with the way non-Puritans were worshipping without much interference.
