 * Smith's forced removal from africa to the new world was very disconcerting in that he was abruptly taken captive and beaten. Also, he had to watch his father being killed. He was taken from the place he knew, and he was forced to enduer hard labor in a place hes never been to.
 * Some factors that helped him adjust to the new environment are that he was working with fellow slaves and he had a good sense of hard work. Smith's hard work earned him some respect and responsibility from his master.
 * The specific protection for the catholics is that they cannot be troubled, molested, or discontented for their religion. As long as the person believes in and prays to Jesus Christ, he is safe from wrong doings
 * All the non-believers of Jesus Christ would be punished with death and suffer from forfetuire of all their goods. This could happen just because they dont believe Jesus was Gods son.
 * The compact is like a constitution because it states that they are a colony and that they will form their own politic. Howev, there is a lack of detail in this compact.
 * The compact foreshadows a democratic institution because the signers agreed to mutually make descisions and to combine their ideas to form a make their own politic.
 * At this point in history men had all the authority. They seem to have been swayed easily to one side or another of an argument. Anns is a woman and the court had no proof that she was actually having an opiphany and talking to god. So she was sentenced to imprisonment and deemed unfit for society.
 * Majority of these crimes had to do with killing and murdering people. So the punishment of death definately fit the crime. However, many of these crimes didnt deserve the death penalty.
 * In todays world crimes such as murder, poisoning someone, stealing a man(kidnapping), and if someone lies to get another to die would all be put up for possible death penalty charges. Alot of these crimes would only be decades or life in prison, but several of them garuntee the death penalty.
