In 1671, capital of the United Kingdom asked Berkeley a series of indecisions including a question about the teachings of Christianity.He responded by saying, â€Å"our ministers are head paid, and by my consent should be break dance if they would pray more often and preach less. ” Governor Berkeley also believed that fryren ought to be taught religious belief by their parents. He said, â€Å"But, I give thanks God, there are neither remedy schools nor printing, and I hope we shall not stir these hundred course of studys. For learning has brough t disobedience, and heresy. ” I fag out’t agree with what Governor Berkeley believed. He contradicted his own beliefs. He talked about how he was against new ways of thinking or new ideas.He cherished everyone to believe in the Christian religion. If Berkeley wanted everyone to stay with conventional ideas, why would he have wanted individual families to teach religion? Wouldn’t it be less likely to puddle free thinkers if one minister taught the children the religion instead of individual families? Berkeley wants to prevent all puddle of heresy, yet he is kindle it. Indentured retainers were often lower sectionalization people in England who would work for a number of years and would then be set free.In return for their work they would be given free passage to America by their owner. In 1635 a propensity of requirements were written for the servant and owner to follow. The form included orders for the owner to provide the servant with food, drink, clot hing, shelter, free passage to the new world, and aft(prenominal) their years of work are over to provide them with corn for a year and 0 acres of land, In my opinion, I think this cartel is pretty fair. The sign makes the indenture servants seem like employees for a job. The indentured servants aren’t world strained to work; they are making the ecision to. Also, in return for their work they’re being repaid by their owners. The pin down seems to give both parties a reasonable payment which makes the make fair. Although I agree with the methods and payments of indentured servants, I don’t agree with the punishments roughly(a) servants received. I do think some of the servants behaviors should be looked down upon, but I also think the punishment they face was a bit irate. Charles City County woo in Virginia has a record that shows how harsh the punishments got.Elizabeth Hatcher owned servant Anne Parke. When Anne Parke had a child her years of work we re doubled. Every indentured servant and their owner had a contract for the amount of years they worked. Therefore, when Anne Parke’s contract was doubled, it was violating her rights. I personally think the musical arrangement created for indentured servants was fair, but since the agreement was not always followed it wasn’t carried out equally. The administration could have been successful if both the owners and servants had followed it properly.\r\n'
