The right to vote in the Massachusetts Bay Colony was expanded primarily to encourage greater participation in governance among its citizens, reflecting the Puritan belief in a "covenant community" where individuals had a role in decision-making. Initially restricted to church members, the expanding voting rights were influenced by a growing population and the desire to maintain social order and stability. Additionally, as the colony developed, there was a recognition of the need to include more of the populace in the political process to ensure broader representation and support for colonial governance.
