Roger Williams.

"Roger Williams, a puritan minister, came to Massachusetts in 1631. He held that the king had no right to give English colonists land that belonged to Native Americans. After a Massachusetts court banished him and his followers, Williams founded Providence, Rhode Island-on land purchased from Native Americans. He established religious freedom and separation of church and state. Williams also allowed all males who headed families the right to vote. In Massachusetts, only church members could vote."
