MJ+Pennsylvania+vs.+Massachusetts+essential+question

 It is clear that the better choice among the colonies, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, is the Massachusetts Bay Colony because of the lacking social structure in Pennsylvania and the effect that it is having on the economy of the colonies. Pennsylvania has given rights to people that do not deserve nor know how to use them which will inevitably cause chaos. These rights that have been granted are costing the colony money and resources. Massachusetts on the other hand is thriving and orderly and has kept each social class in its place.  One of the disadvantages to residing in Pennsylvania would be the extreme lack of social order in the colony. If every man that comes over from Europe, no matter where he has emigrated from, and is automatically given land, then that means that they would all be considered equals. People are not equal, especially men and women. The only group that should have a say in anything are the Englishmen. Women should never have the right to vote and such practices would mean the ignorant downfall of the colony. Another problem with Pennsylvania is that it grants people the right to believe whatever they want to believe. With this kind of unorganized diversity among the citizens, conflicts would be inevitable and violent.  The other reason to choose Massachusetts is the inefficiency of the Pennsylvanian economy. Unlike every other colony, including Massachusetts, we do not purchase land from the Indians. This unethical bartering is costing the colony huge amounts. In addition, every time that a new immigrant arrives, they receive a tract of land for free. This prospect of this free land is appealing but what good is it in a bad economy where the government is in debt. In the long run, this get-rich-quick scheme is doomed to fail. The presence of women with power is also going to impact the economy. With their newfound right to vote, women will have a say in all issues including economical ones. Women know nothing of finance and lack the basic knowledge needed to responsibly handle money. Regardless, these Pennsylvanian women will ignorantly vote and weigh down anyone who seeks a profit.  Massachusetts is the wiser colony to live in, as opposed to Pennsylvania, because of their well organized social structure that will not damage the economy of the entire colony. Pennsylvanian society is psychotic in theory and doomed in practice because of the granting of certain rights. The economy of Pennsylvania will surely suffer because of this imbalance of power and will eventually be bankrupt.
