Detailed explanation-1: -The New England colonies were the northernmost of the colonies: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1639, the Connecticut Colony wrote and adopted the Fundamental Orders. This document reflected our independent spirit and is considered by many to be the first written constitution of a democratic government. That’s why Connecticut is nicknamed “The Constitution State."
Detailed explanation-3: -By 1645, the settlements of Windsor, Wethersfield, and Hartford had united to form River Colony, which became known as Connecticut.
