Abstract
Concerned about losing their civil and church liberties under the newly restored Charles II's regime, colonial Puritans organized town-wide petition campaigns. Signed by both freemen and non-freemen, the 1664-1665 petitions drew on biblical, constitutional, and Civil War-era language to urge the Massachusetts General Court to resist the king's demands.
