Rhode Island founder Roger Williams believed in religious toleration.

Roger Williams (1603-1683) firmly believed in freedom of conscience. He founded the Rhode Island colony after being banished from Massachusetts in 1636 because of his views. He advocated keeping church and state separate. Rhode Island became a safe place for various religious dissenters and minorities to find a place to exist peacefully -- Baptists, Quakers, Jews and other religious minorities. Years later, when colonial America became the United States of America and the US Constitution was being written, Roger Williams idea of maintaining a “wall of separation” between church and state influenced the framers of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Freedom of Religion was not the law in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.The Puritans came to America so they could practice their religion as they pleased. However, they did not allow other settlers the same religious freedom. Settlers who did not follow the Puritan ways were not allowed to own land in the colony, and were often sent away. Anne Hutchinson--mentioned in one of the question choices--was a female preacher who was persecuted as a heretic in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Which issue was at the heart of one of the compromises made between northern and southern states during the Constitutional Conve
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Counting slaves in the population.

Explanation:

The weakness of the national government to not able tax, could not implement the laws it passed, and could not control trade lead to the revision of Article of Confederation. Such and other shortcomings, along with a rise in national opinion, led to the Constitutional Convention, which convened from May to September 1787. Representatives from southern states wanted slaves to be counted in terms of representation, however, northern states felt that slaves ought not to be counted towards representation because counting them would provide more representatives for the South. The negotiation between the two sides came to be known as the compromise of three-fifths because in terms of representation every five slaves would be counted as three individuals.
