Rhode Island. The colony of Rhode Island was founded by a puritan minister named Roger Williams, who was a strong advocate of a separation between church and state, as well as religious freedoms and tolerances among peoples. Originally, Roger Williams was a minister in Massachusetts but expelled in 1636 for having too radical ideas about religious freedom and separating government authority from religious practice. He then relocated to Rhode Island and set up a colony that guaranteed religious toleration and early advocacy for abolition of slavery.
John Locke had a huge effect on the Founding Fathers of the United States of America and therefore he was a huge part in the writing of the Constitution. His ideas in the Second Treatise of Government and the Social Contract emphasized his idea that the people give up certain freedoms to a government in exchange for protection from others. His idea, "Where there is no law, there is no freedom" is his way of saying that if you don't have laws, then everyone can do what they want. If everyone does what they want then freedom is non-existent. For example: Say you have a car. If there was no such thing as laws, someone could come and take that car from you.
