Question

what was one result of the treatment that catholics in england often faced during the 1600s?
some catholics refused to swear loyalty to the king of england.
some catholics left england to settle in north america.
some catholics founded the colony of pennsylvania in 1681.
some catholics were forced out of the church of england.

Explanation:

During the 1600s in England, Catholics faced discrimination. One result was that some left England to settle in North America to escape religious persecution. Option A is incorrect as Catholics didn't refuse loyalty oaths (they were often forced to take them or faced consequences). Option C is incorrect as Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn, not "some Catholics" in that way. Option D is incorrect as the Church of England was the established church, and Catholics were not part of it and faced persecution, not being forced out of it (they were already outside or persecuted within the Anglican - dominated society). So the correct option relates to emigration to North America.

Answer:

B. Some Catholics left England to settle in North America.
