Is preaching another word for talking in this sentence? "The puritans were highly unfair people who banished Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams from the colony for preaching something other than the puritan views."

If not, please tell me another word for preaching that is a small word. Not a huge vocab word.

PLEASE HELP ASAP DUE IN LIKE 3 MINS

Not really.

Explanation:

"Preaching" is a religious term, and it is the delivery of a religious address/moral advice to an assembled group of people, typically in church.

In other words, it is giving a religious speech about the word of God, and trying to persuade other people to believe in a particular belief/follow a particular way of life.

"Talking" is merely a casual term that is informal, and does not necessarily fit in this situation.

I hope this helped! Let me know if you didn't understand some parts, I'll try to define it in an easier way.

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
