Puritan churches consolidated power by intertwining religious authority with civic governance, establishing a theocratic system where church leaders held significant influence over political matters. They enforced strict adherence to their interpretation of the Bible, creating a social framework that prioritized community conformity and moral discipline. Additionally, the Puritan emphasis on a "covenant" community fostered a sense of collective identity and accountability, reinforcing the church's central role in both spiritual and societal affairs.
