What might lord baltimore and the maryland assembly have been trying to accomplish with their passage of the toleration act?

They were trying to achieve religious tolerance

The Toleration Act mandated religious tolerance against all Christians. The act was meant to ensure freedom of religion for Christian settlers of diverse persuasions in the colony. Passed in 1649 by the local representative government of Maryland. Lord Baltimore aimed to purchase toleration for his worshippers

the california missions began in the late 18th century as an effort to convert native americans to catholicism and expand european territory. there were 21 missions in all, lasting from 1769 until about 1833.   the missions were built by the spanish starting in 1769 in order to “colonize” the territory of alta california. so the missions were important because they were the means of settling california. it also wanted to keep other european countries out of alta california. building settlements along the coast would them meet these goals. missionaries wanted to convert the indians to the roman catholic faith. california indians did much of the work to build missions.
