5. (quote-book ) had a type of challenge exciting to idealists. Each early town was, in a real sense, a little commonwealth. Legally it was able to select its members and to exclude “such whose dispositions do not suit us, whose society will be hurtful to us.”³ Furthermore, each town was free to make as many laws as it considered necessary and to operate with considerable flexibility in relation to “The Bay Colony|Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay.” While a town needed the general government in times of crisis and emergency and recognized the General Court|Massachusetts General Court as the source of authority, it often admitted local prerogatives which did not agree, point by point, with every law made for the good of the commonwealth. For the early years, then, each town could make an attempt to form as much of an ideal state as its leaders could conceive and find agreement on. (..) Winslow|Edward Winslow, in Massachusetts|Plymouth, made a revealing statement when he wrote, “We came World|here to avoid the hierarchy, the days, the of Common Prayer, etc.” (..) There were, depending on the local area, many types of hierarchies in England (..)

How successful were any of these town leaders, and how did they measure their successes? Although each early Massachusetts, or New England, town might well provide distinct and fascinating answers, the historian is limited by his documents.

One town, well documented in relation to its specific origins, can serve as a representative study for most early New England towns until further investigation takes place.
