ANSWER
Puritans believed that their way of worship was the only way, that their leaders carried out God’s will, and that society needed to be tightly knit and behavior strictly controlled. Puritan leaders may have felt especially threatened by Hutchinson’s views because she was a woman and the church and society were male-dominated.
