The idea of separation of church and state did not originate in the first New England colony, but it was influenced by the religious dynamics present there. The Puritans established a theocratic system in Massachusetts Bay Colony, where church and government were closely intertwined. However, the concept gained more formal expression later, particularly with the writings of figures like Roger Williams, who advocated for religious freedom and the separation of church and state, leading to the founding of Rhode Island. This idea was further solidified in American political thought, particularly during the Enlightenment and the establishment of the U.S. Constitution.
