The dissenting opinion will state reasons why the dissenting justices disagree with the majority decision.
The Massachusetts minister who was banned due to his separate beliefs was Roger Williams. He was a Puritan minister who advocated for religious freedom and the separation of church and state, which conflicted with the prevailing views of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1636, his dissenting beliefs led to his banishment, and he subsequently founded the colony of Rhode Island, which became known for its religious tolerance.
A dissenting opinion is written when a justice disagrees with the majority opinion (which carries the force of law). If a justice is writing a dissenting opinion, that means he or she voted with the minority group, and wants to explain the reason why he or she disagrees with the official Opinion of the Court. Dissenting opinions may be cited, but are not enforceable.
