Rhode Island NEVER become a royal colony. It was self-governed since its beginnings and after the restoration of the Stuart monarchy in England, John Clarke secured a charter that assured religious freedom and self government. This 1663 charter "served as the foundation of Rhode Islands government long after the American Revolution."
When Roger Williams left the Massachusetts Bay Colony to start a new settlement in what became Rhode Island, he was determined to create a place where there would be more tolerance than he found in Puritan Massachusetts. Rhode Island was governed with the ideals of freedom of religion, freedom to express one's beliefs, and a separation between religion and government. And in what would seem very modern to us, the colony was governed democratically-- decisions were made by the citizens.
