The son of British Admiral Sir William Penn, William Penn the younger was the driving force to receive a charter for what was known as Pennsylvania or " Penns Forest". The colony was an immediate success and Penn guaranteed religious freedom, that was so inclusive, it stood out among other tolerant nations or colonies. For example the religions of Catholicism, and also Baptists, Lutherans ,Presbyterians and even members of the Church of England were welcomed there.
Penn wanted equal rights for Native Americans and African Americans, and was far ahead of his time in regards to equality, religious tolerance, and personal freedoms.
It had a mini-constitution unlike the other states, and the charter signed by the King gave them a lot of power
