Rhode Island NEVER become a royal colony.

How was Rhode Island governed?

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.
