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.
God's covenant with Abraham, according to Israelite belief, was to make
Abraham a truly great nation, bless Abraham and his name, and bring hell
upon anyone who curses him. He blessed anyone who is linked to Abraham.
Any of Abraham's descendants were to be given the land from the River
Nile to Euphrates, and this land was to be referred to as the Promised
land, or the Land of Israel. Abraham was also to be made the father of
nations, and the whole land of Canaan was to be given to them. The sign
of this promise to Abraham and his male descendants is known as the brit
milah, and refers to the practice of male circumcision in the Jewish
religion.
