Answer:

try people accused of witchcraft

Step-by-step explanation:

During that time period, Puritans had a huge influence in 1692. They often give public punishment for those who they deemed to be violating the Christian's teaching.

One of the most famous trial that was held within this special court was referred to as the Salem witch trial. The trial examined a group of girls who experience psychological distress as a sign of 'being possessed by devils' or 'witchcraft'. This special court was abolished around 5 years later by the Massachusetts General Court because the process was considered to be 'unlawful'
