Rhode Island colony was founded in 1636 by dissenters from the Puritan Massachusetts Bay Colony, notably Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson, who sought religious freedom and the separation of church and state. The colony adopted a more liberal and democratic governance structure compared to its neighbors, with an emphasis on individual rights and civil liberties. Rhode Island's government allowed for a broader participation in politics, including granting voting rights to non-property owners. This progressive approach attracted various religious and ethnic groups, making it a haven for those seeking refuge from religious persecution.
