During the time of the Puritans, the centre of New England life was the local church.
Society must be represented by biblical qualities. Every adult man could speak at meetings of the congregation, which were an early type of majority government. Everything in the network was chosen by the committees of the Church.
The Church meetings were supplanted by Town meetings, where a similar type of government of the early New England majority was discussed. In these meetings, each man could talk about everything, from choosing to repair an extension to enter the revolutionary war.
The intensity of the resolute chapel and the religious government were weakened by the Great Awakening, as the dependence on the Bible was reinforced as a point of access for qualities to supervise society and the act of the rule system.
