Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitution and Its Framers The Massachusetts Bay colonists inaugurated the most thor oughly democratic government known among the colonies. All laws were passed upon by direct vote of the people, but to be a voter one had to be a church member, and of the Puritans' religious profession. They were a high spirited people, much more independent, financially, than most of the settlers, and were a thorn in the esh of the king from the start. Their settlement was begun at Salem, and has never lost its char acter for assertive independence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
