Question 2

The correct act was the "Act of Toleration" (not Inspiration) in Maryland to allow Protestants and Catholics to worship freely. So this statement is false (F).

Question 3

James Oglethorpe was granted a charter to set up the Georgia colony to give poor people a new start. So the statement that he was denied is false (F).

Question 4

The Mason - Dixon Line is the boundary between Maryland and Pennsylvania (not Delaware). So this statement is false (F).

Question 5

The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut was the first written constitution (not Declaration) in America. So this statement is false (F).

Question 6

Roger Williams founded Rhode Island, and he was against forcing people to worship in a certain way and against taking Native Americans' land. This statement is true (T).

Question 7

The plan of government for Carolina was developed by the Lords Proprietors, and John Locke (not John Keyes) had a role in its development. The idea of people's right to own property was part of it, but the person is wrong. So this statement is false (F).

Question 8
