History

Answer:

Quakerism

Explanation:

The Quakers are a religious group emerged in England in 1647 as a dissent from the Anglican Church. One of the pillars of the faith of the Quakers is the belief there is no need to create a clerical organization, then all faithful are ministers of God. The Quakers lived in recollection and preached the practice of pacifism, solidarity and philanthropy. In order to guarantee their moral purity, they also defended, let alone moderate, attitudes: they refused to pay tithes to the official church, to take oath before the magistrates in the courts or to pay tribute to authorities, including the king. They were still refusing to do military service and take part in wars.

They presented original ideas in 17th-century English absolutist society, and for this reason, they were eventually persecuted by Charles II. For this reason, a large part of the Quakers emigrated to the United States, where, led by William Penn, they created the colony of Pennsylvania in 1681.
