What governor was reprimanded for allowing only Dutch Refomed people to settle? (Tried to exclude Jews - no passports)

  1. Antonio Meucci

  2. Auguste Bartholdi, Gustave Eiffel

  3. Peter Stuyvesant

  4. John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Baptist Minister Harry Emerson Fosdick..Allen, Collins, and Pelton

The correct answer is: Peter Stuyvesant

Peter Stuyvesant is the correct answer because he was the governor of New Netherland in the mid-17th century and imposed strict regulations, including restricting settlement to only the Dutch Reformed Church members and attempting to exclude Jews from the colony by requiring them to have special passports. This policy was a reflection of the religious and social tensions of the time. Antonio Meucci was an Italian inventor known for his work on the telephone, while Auguste Bartholdi and Gustave Eiffel were involved with the Statue of Liberty. John D. Rockefeller Jr. was a prominent American businessman and philanthropist, and Harry Emerson Fosdick was a Baptist minister known for his liberal theology. Allen, Collins, and Pelton do not have direct relevance to the question.
