Answer:

Pennsylvania was tolerant regarding religion

Step-by-step explanation:

In Pennsylvania, the law was clear about this. The area was to be tolerant regarding religion. That was because Penn and the other Quakers believed that, when seeking god, a person should find his or her own way to do so. Also, they believed that this kind of freedom would make a better government and a wealthier society.
