Answer 1

The colony established by Roger Williams in which religious freedom for all was permitted was: Rhode Island

Answer 2

Answer:

The colony established by Roger Williams in which religious freedom for all was permitted was Rhode Island.

Explanation:

Roger Williams was an English theologian, a noted advocate of religious tolerance and church-state separation.

In 1644, he was commissioned to create the colony of Rhode Island, the name of the main island in Narragansett Bay that would later become the state of Rhode Island. The name comes from the fact that Williams reminded the island of Rhodes in the Mediterranean.

In the matter of religious freedom, he proclaimed absolute freedom for Christians, Jews, Turks and pagans, who would have equal civil and political rights. That tolerance aroused misgivings among the other colonies in New England.
