Answer 1

Stern religious rules had less influence over the new generation of farmers and merchants.

Step-by-step explanation:

While the older generation of farmers and merchants would give all the credit to God for their success, the religious rules had less of an influence over the new generations that came after. Puritanism simply wasn't as hard as it used to be and people continued to live their lives with rules that were not so strict or rigid.
