How di dissent from the England establishment

Question

How did dissent from the England establishment and consensus among themselves affect the movement of Puritans to the New World and the establishment of their city upon a hill?

Answer 1

Dissenting from the England establishment can be understood in various ways, depending on the historical or contemporary context. Here are a few possible interpretations:

1. *Historical context*: In the past, dissenting from the Church of England or the British monarchy might involve:

- Nonconformist movements (e.g., Puritans, Quakers)

- Political opposition (e.g., Parliamentarians vs. Royalists)

2. *Contemporary context*: Today, dissenting from the establishment might involve:

- Criticizing government policies or institutions

- Advocating for social change or reform

- Supporting alternative movements or ideologie

Answer 2

You could write hundreds of pages about this, since it is a very broad topic.  But there are a few minimal facts to consider:

 

The Puritans wanted to establish a community of faith based on their freedom to interpret the Bible according to their own conscience.  The Church of England was imposing beliefs that the Puritans did not agree with.  The King of England had already declared himself head of Church as well as head of state.  Believing that neither the King or any other ruler had a right to tell them how to interpret the Bible, the Puritans chose to leave England and build a community in the New World, based on their own beliefs, rather than stay in England and face persecution for not falling in line with the Church of England.  It was also a missionary journey for them, as they wanted to bring the Christian message to the indigenous peoples of the New World.

 

By expanding on these minimal facts, you should be able to synthesize a substantial answer to the question.

Answer 3

This is a really broad question, but the way it is worded seems very specific to reading material or a text you must already have.

How long is the answer supposed to be? Is this an essay response or short answer (1-5 sentences)? 

Have you come up with anything for an answer & just got confused about something in particular? 

 

You basically have to answer...

1) What did the dissent from the English establishment (the monarchy, peerage, religious sects) have to do with the Puritans coming t the U.S.? 

2) How did the Puritans arrive at a consensus to make a long dangerous sea journey to settle a new land, things must have been pretty bad.

3)What was their reason for establishing a settlement on a hill? Was it symbolic or utile?
