How were anne Hutchinson and roger Williams challenges to status quo have in common?

Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams contributed to the America constitutions idea of separating church and state by, well first Anne Hutchinson was a religious figure and activist who brought controversy in Massachusetts regarding the Christian Doctrine. She believed strongly with personal revelation. She tried to continue her fathers ideas by supporting Religious Individuality. Roger Williams contributed to the ideas observation of church and state by, being the first spokesman for religious tolerance and believed strongly in separation of church and state. He as well as Anne was banished from Massachusetts....but unlike Anne, roger perused a life in government and later on established what was to be called the "the sewer convoy" or Rhode Island.Anne Hutchinson was one that used her quick wits and eloquence to argue the doctrine of predestination. She said stressed that the holy life did not promise salvation. This was known as antinomianism (or "against the law" in Greek), and this was considered to be a high heresy. With these assertions, i would imagine that this would stir some people's minds in a sense that if they truly were already predestined to hell then why not do whatever they wanted? This could have also stirred up people's thoughts in a way that they did not want to have any part in the state because it was interrogated with the "faulty" church.

Why was Controversy significant?

Controversy can refer to several different things, but as you capitalized the word I assume you mean either a book or a movie. There are several movies with the word Controversy in them, but only one television series with only the word Controversy. Unfortunately I was not able to find any reason why any of them would be significant. However the book "The Great Controversy" was a major factor in forming the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The book lists and describes all the events that will occur before the End Times arrive (to the Adventist belief).
