☐ the foc gave the vote to all men who were property owners.
☐ the foc limited the governor’s power which expanded the idea of representative government.
☐ the foc increased the control the king of england had on the colony.
☐ the foc outlined strict requirements for slavery.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Option 1: The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut gave the vote to all men who were property owners, while Massachusetts had a more restricted voting system (e.g., often limited to church members in addition to property ownership in some cases). So this is a valid difference.
• Option 2: The FOC limited the governor's power, promoting representative government, whereas Massachusetts had a stronger governor - like figure (e.g., the governor in Massachusetts Bay Colony had more power initially, and the FOC's approach to limiting governor power was a key difference in governance structure).
• Option 3: The FOC was a step towards self - governance and did not increase the King's control. In fact, it was more about local governance, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: The FOC did not outline strict requirements for slavery. Slavery was not a central focus of the FOC's governance outline, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. The FOC gave the vote to all men who were property owners.
B. The FOC limited the governor’s power which expanded the idea of representative government.
