The laws in the New Jersey colony were established to promote religious freedom and encourage settlement. The Fundamental Laws of 1665 allowed for a representative assembly and granted landowners the right to vote. The colony's legal framework was influenced by its diverse population, resulting in a blend of English common law and local customs. Over time, laws evolved to address issues such as land disputes, trade regulations, and relations with Native Americans.
