Detailed explanation-1: -Penn says that people will not be persecuted for their religion nor be compelled to frequent or maintain any religious Worship, Place or Ministry, contrary to his or their Mind.
Detailed explanation-2: -William Penn understood that many of the colony’s settlers would not be members of the Religious Society of Friends and so he attempted to ensure the practice of Quaker ideals by the establishment of a school system based on those values.
Detailed explanation-3: -What are Penn’s arguments in favor of religious liberty? Believed that the spirit of God lived inside of all people, not just elected government officials. They called this spirit, the “inner light". The Quakers believed that this “inner light” helped spiritually guide people more than the Bible.
