Detailed explanation-1: -Penn and other Quakers believed that everyone had to seek God in his or her own way. Penn also thought that religious tolerance – or “liberty of conscience” – would create stronger governments and wealthier societies.
Detailed explanation-2: -He believed religious freedom promoted industriousness and discipline among the citizens of a nation. In other words, farmers and laborers would not be motivated to contribute to a society in which they could not worship God freely. Penn planned Pennsylvania with these views on religion and government in mind.
Detailed explanation-3: -What was the primary reason that William Penn granted religious freedom in his colony? to encourage settlers to come to his colony. Penn sought to allow Pennsylvania, a proprietary colony, to grow, with religious freedom being an artifice.
Detailed explanation-4: -King Charles later changed the name to Pennsylvania (Penn’s Woods) in honor of Admiral Sir William Penn, the younger Penn’s father. Penn wanted to design a colony and a government that would showcase his ideals that included representation of the people, religious tolerance and a fair judicial system.
