Religion and Politics
ReligionThe religion in the Pennsylvania Colony is the Quaker religion. In the Colony there is religious freedom for anybody who believes in God. Herds of English, Welsh (people of Wales), German, and Dutch Quakers flock to the Colony, so a healthy share of religious diversity is present in our Colony.

PoliticsThe right of appointment of judicial and executive officers, which (originally) was reserved by the proprietors of other colonies, was given by William Penn to the people, and the government was then formed of the proprietor and the Assembly. However, the people of the Colony soon demanded that they have more power and privileges. William Penn granted a new charter that gave even greater power to the people, The Colony was finally satisfied by the change of government and rioted no more.
