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.
Answer:
If once you have slept on an island
You’ll never be quite the same;
You may look as you looked the day before
And go by the same old name,
You may bustle about in street and shop;
You may sit at home and sew,
But you’ll see blue water and wheeling gulls
Wherever your feet may go.

Instituted in the hope of avoiding war, appeasement was the name given to Britain’s policy in the 1930s of allowing Hitler to expand German territory unchecked. Most closely associated with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, it is now widely discredited as a policy of weakness. Yet at the time, it was a popular and seemingly pragmatic policy. Hitler’s expansionist aims became clear in 1936 when his forces entered the Rhineland. Two years later, in March 1938, he annexed Austria. At the Munich Conference that September, Neville Chamberlain seemed to have averted war by agreeing that Germany could occupy the Sudetenland, the German-speaking part of Czechoslovakia - this became known as the Munich Agreement. In Britain, the Munich Agreement was greeted with jubilation. However, Winston Churchill, then estranged from government and one of the few to oppose appeasement of Hitler, described it as ‘an unmitigated disaster’. Appeasement was popular for several reasons. Chamberlain - and the British people - were desperate to avoid the slaughter of another world war. Britain was overstretched policing its empire and could not afford major rearmament. Its main ally, France, was seriously weakened and, unlike in the First World War, Commonwealth support was not a certainty. Many Britons also sympathised with Germany, which they felt had been treated unfairly following its defeat in 1918. But, despite his promise of ‘no more territorial demands in Europe’, Hitler was undeterred by appeasement. In March 1939, he violated the Munich Agreement by occupying the rest of Czechoslovakia. Six months later, in September 1939, Germany invaded Poland and Britain was at war.
The internal and external factors that contributed to the collapse of the
Roman and Chinese empires were as follows:
Internal factors -
- excessively expensive and overextended compared to the existing resources.
- neither had technology advances that increased available resources.
- Both were victims of tax avoidance by landowner families who absolved the poor from paying taxes.
- Instability was brought on by antagonism between elite factions in both cases.
- Both were affected by epidemics.
External factor -
- Both empires' frontier territories were inhabited by nomadic nomads who grew to be increasingly dangerous and eventually captured parts of both empires.
<h3>Why did the Roman and Chinese empires collapse?</h3>
The fall of the Roman Empire had a number of causes. Each was woven into the other. Many people even attribute the rise of Christianity to the fall. Many Roman inhabitants became pacifists as a result of Christianity, making it harder to repel the barbarian invaders. Additionally, the Roman empire could have been maintained with the money invested to construct churches.
Han China's downfall was primarily brought on by the government's inability to run the country effectively. The bureaucrats became corrupt and prioritized pleasure over their jobs. The empire saw epidemics and nomadic insurgencies, yet government spending increased because political officials led extravagant lifestyles.
