Rhode Island was the first British colony in North America to guarantee its citizens the right to worship as they pleased. Roger Williams was banished from Massachusetts because of his belief in the separation of church and state. He went against the laws of church leaders in Massachusetts and proclaimed that no one could determine who was "saved" and there must be no religious test, such as the one enforced in Massachusetts, to determine who would have the right to vote and participate in other civil affairs. Williams believed that whether one was "saved" was a personal matter between the individual and God. In 1636, Williams purchased land from the Narragansett Indians (known as Providence) and founded the colony of Rhode Island. In 1644 he sailed to England and secured a charter for his colony. The idea of separation of church and state and complete freedom of religion would later be incorporated in the Constitution of the United States. MrV
