What was the most fundamental threat to the Puritan social order?
a.conversion
b.socialism
c.feminism
d.the market economy
e.theocracy


. I am thinking E.
I am thinking it's theocracy because other puritans started freaking out when anne hutchinson and the other dude, (forgot his name) wanted to separate church and state. That's not conversion is it?

It is actually D - the market economy

The Puritan society was already a theocracy in a sense...

Theocracy WAS the Puritan social order! I'd say A. History shows that the former Puritan stronghold of New England became the most Liberal part of the country as they drifted away from Puritan religion. It seems they understood the threat as well-- that's why they banished or killed Ann Hutchinson and Mary Dyer and hung Quakers. I would not characterize either of the two women mentioned as primarily feminist since their nonconformity was mostly theological.

HL Mencken thought it was the idea that someone, somewhere, may be happy...but I digress.

I think it's conversion, as in people deciding not to be Puritans any more.
