I'm currently in a history class that has a lesson based around the retrial of Anne Hutchinson. I am on the Anti-Hutchinson side and am looking for some help on formulating good, accurate, and valid arguments. One of the main topics I have focused on for the debates with the Pro-Hutchinson side is the issue of ministers in puritan society. Puritans rely heavily on ministers and Anne is challenging that. I am not necessarily looking for the answers, but guidance in this situation. TIA!
