Detailed explanation-1: -William Penn was an English Quaker leader and advocate of religious freedom who oversaw the founding of Pennsylvania as a refuge for Quakers and other religious minorities of Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -Penn emphasized self-government for the people. In 1696 the Assembly, an elected body of 36 men with power to accept or reject laws, demanded the power to make laws. While Penn disagreed, he nevertheless believed strongly in representative government. So he reluctantly changed the way Pennsylvania was governed.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did William Penn attempt to create a colonial government that would be fair to all? He limited his own power, established elected assembly that reflected the citizens’ will, and provided religious freedom to all Christians.
