Answer:

Expulsion of Roger Williams from Massachusetts

Explanation:

The founder of the smallest American colony was Roger Williams, a Protestant priest who was expelled from Massachusetts for his religious teaching. He thus reached Rhode Island in 1636 and laid the foundations of the state on the land given to him by the Indians. Basically, Williams proclaimed that all people have religious and political freedoms in this place.

Answer:

Roger Williams, a Puritan minister, had differences with the Puritan leaders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. When he was expelled, he founded Rhode Island as a colony that would be free to practice his brand of Puritanism. It was self-governing, with an elected governor and its own representative assembly.

How did the voting public react to Andrew Jackson vetoing the renewal of the second national bank charter

just olya [345]

President Andrew Jackson opposed giving the bank a new charter because he saw the Second National Bank as an elitist institution whose first priority was to gain profit and not public service.

The voting public reaction to Jackson's vetoing the renewal of the Second National Bank Charter was positive even though he lost a lot of voters from the wealthy class he gained votes from the working class like farmers and laborers. He won the re-election in November 1832 although it was a tight contest.
