Over the course of the first ten years, the Puritans convert the charter of the Massachusetts Bay Company into a functioning constitution for their colony The town meeting becomes the cornerstone of community life as local issues are decided by adult free males. The church also exerts a governing influence, with congregational members rather than the church hierarchy assuming positions of authority. While there is formal separation between church and state, all residents contribute to the salary of Puritan clergy.
