Explanation:

William Penn was an American politician and a religious reformer, promoter in of Quakerism, founder of the city of Philadelphia and the Province of Pennsylvania.

He inherited a 16,000 pound debt owed by the crown to his father, which he negotiated for an exchange of land in North America. On March 4, 1681, Charles II granted him by charter a vast territory located west of New Jersey.

In 1682, William Penn founded the city of Philadelphia there, applying the precepts of government of an ideal liberal society. The young Quaker colony quickly became prosperous. He wanted this city to serve as a port and political center. Even though Charles II had given it to him, William Penn bought the land from the Amerindians in order to establish peaceful relations with them. There, he became an early defender of democracy and religious freedom, soon attracting new settlers to the colony.
