Answer 1

They were both places of religious tolerance

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

They were both places of religious tolerance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Originally, the colony of Maryland was created as a place for English Catholics in the New World in 1632. However, through the Calvert family (George Calvert), Catholic aristocrats and Protestant settlers were welcomed to Maryland, based on land grants and a policy of religious tolerance.

On the other hand, Pennsylvania which was established in 1681, had extended religious freedom to all monotheists through the charter of privileges and the government was originally free to all Christians.

Hence, in this case, the right answer is "They were both places of religious tolerance."
