Ok #3. The bill of rights are the amendments to the constitution.
They were added after the constitution was written.
They deal more with personal rights.

Ok I will take number 5. I am going to quote directly from my notes I have on this subject because then I know it will be brief.
Puritan- non-separatist(desire to reform), church over state, "city on a hill"(basically utopia)
To be Puritan:
-Covenant of Grace- God decided predestination
-Covenant of body- God created relationship with Church
-Civil covenant- God created relationship with Massachuetes Bay(where they lived)
Any other questions just tell me.
Pilgrim- separatist(individuals that start their own religion), state over church
