Halle Drake · Answer 1

The correct option is A. Maryland was founded as a place for Catholics and Protestants to worship freely.

Explanation:

In 1632, Maryland was founded to provide a safe place for the English Catholics. The Catholics were treated very poorly in Europe and an anti-catholic act was brought up against them. The Catholics were discriminated everywhere and even they were not allowed to have any place in the public offices.

To have a peaceful life and practice their religion safely, the English Catholics migrated to Maryland. Around 200 Catholics were known to migrate first in Maryland.
