What did the founders of Massachusetts bay mean when they said their colony was a City on a hill?
John Winthrop and his followers were very religious. Their denomination was called "Puritans," because they wanted to purify Christianity from what they believed were errors in doctrine and practice. Winthrop envisioned a Christian theocracy, a government run by religion, where religious values (faith and piety, hard work, avoidance of sin) would create what he believed to be an ideal place to live and work. This place would be a shining example to others coming to the New World, a "city on the hill" that others could look up to and emulate. Of course, it turned out that many colonists found the Puritans harsh and judgmental, and they left the colony. But Winthrop did not expect that to occur-- he sincerely believed a Christian colony where Puritanism ruled would lead to only good things.

The puritan republic began on January 30, 1649, when the Rump Parliament moved to execute Charles I.

What was a purpose of the Townshend Acts?
Charles Townshend, known as "Champagne Charlie" to his friends, was the chancellor of the exchequer in the period following the repeal of the Stamp Act. Hoping to enhance his political career, he tackled the pressing problem of imperial finance. Riots in England convinced him that tax relief was needed at home, but he hoped to reduce the national debt by imposing taxes in the colonies. This made sense to Townshend and others because the recent French and Indian War had been fought on behalf of the colonies and had contributed mightily to the indebtedness.
Townshend was perceptive enough to realize that during the Stamp Act crisis, the Americans had objected to what they had described as internal taxation. That distinction puzzled the chancellor, but nonetheless he set about creating a clearly external tax, reasoning that the colonists could not possibly object.
The intent was to raise revenue for the payment of the salaries of royal officials in the colonies, thus bypassing a role traditionally played by assembles.
