Answer:

The founder and colony that are represented in this passage are William Penn, writing for Pennsylvania.

Step-by-step explanation:

Penn created the colony of Pennsylvania, and established a government in which, unlike the Europe of the time, guaranteed rights such as the separation and limitation of political powers, freedom of worship, the search for social equality (mostly among different ethnic and religious groups), material equity, and the greatest possible respect for civil liberties. He also sought the vindication of the dignity of women and their active participation in public life, free entry into the colonist territories (with great influence of the anti-authoritarian ethics of Quakerism), and the absence of the army, prison reform, and peaceful coexistence with Native Americans, since the Quakers oppose war and the use of violence.
