The Massachusetts Bay Colony, established in 1628 on the shores of North America, was not a true democracy because of the simple fact that its governors were drawn from a limited pool of candidates. The governors were intentionally drawn from a restricted group of males with means who had been proven to be religiously correct in a strict sense.

The reason that the Massachusetts Bay Colony could not be considered a true democracy was they did not allow non-domination or churchless men to vote. They had a mix of democratic and theocratic government.
