How did the social differences between those accused and those making the accusations of witchcraft contribute to the events of the Salem Witch Trials?

This is a simple one

Explanation:

Ahem. The accused are those whom are suspected of practicing witch craft.

If you were a female there was a possibility you were a witch.

if you could not support yourself financially you would have to have the community's support were often accused of being a witch.

and if you had more than one female friend you were also accused of being a witch.

If it was a law, then the police/government wouldn't want you to break it. I'm not sure what type of history your're learning, but the American West was definitely a time where law-breaking went unpunishable.
