Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of individuals entering into a contract with Satan mirrors the Puritans' belief in a covenant with God, where they saw their community as having a collective agreement with God, emphasizing a spiritual and moral commitment. This contrasts with the idea of making a pact with Satan, which represents a betrayal or inversion of that holy covenant.
