清教传统对美国政治思想尤其是自由主义的发展影响深远。无论从逻辑还是情感，清教传统都不会自动产生自由主义精神，其内含的信仰不自由甚至还带有反自由主义倾向，但在殖民地特殊的政治环境中，在英国政治理论和实践的影响下，北美清教的思想观念悄然发生了变化，尤其是后期对契约观念的认同、对民主法治的肯定、对个人主义的尊重以及对个人权利的约束等，这些变化与现代自由主义精神深度契合，为美国自由主义的形成、民主理想的确立和现代国家的构建奠定了坚实的基础。

Puritanism tradition has effected deeply on American political thought, especially the development of liberalism. In terms of logic or the emotion, Puritanism tradition does not auto- matically generate the spirit of freedom, which contains a belief even against liberalism. But in the special colonial political environment, under the influence of the Britain political theory and practice, the ideas of North American Puritanism changed sadly, especially for the identity to contract concept, the affirmation of democracy and rule of law, the respect for individualism and the constraints to individual rights. These changes have agreement with the spirit of modern lib- eralism, which building a solid foundation to the formation of American liberalism, the establish- ment of democratic ideals, the construction of modern state.
