21st Century Government
Thomas Hooker, Roger Ludlow, and John Haynes helped create what goes on in today's government. There are special laws that certain political groups can enforce, which was stated in the FOC. They also have certain powers, responsibilities and limitations they have to watch out for. The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut created a great foundation to part of our American government.
