The puritans law system

The puritans laws were very harsh. Some I think they made to big a deal about and others well they were good. For instance a man was givin a terrible punishment just for missing one day of church! But if you ever spoke against the Bible or argued with a minister then you were REALLY in for it! The puritans laws were strict but some were very good. Like if someone were to murder somebody then they would be killed. That is somewhat similar to the law we have today. The puritans were very smart but if I had just moved to a new land i probably would have set the laws up differently! I am not saying that i am way smarter than the puritans or anything like that because i believe that they were very smart! I just think that if I had moved to a new land i would have set the laws up a little differently!
