Outcome Half Way Covenant. This allowed citizens of the colonies to become partial members of the church. As a result, these half way church members were allowed the opportunity to participate in the governance of the colony

Outcome Salem Witch Trials Shows weakness in the practice of Theocracy. Created mass hysteria amongst the colonists who feared of being accused and of being afflicted.
