This book explores the origins of Rhode Island, a colony founded by Roger Williams due to his expulsion from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The author argues that Rhode Island was a unique experiment in religious freedom and political individualism, born out of the strict Puritan theocracy that governed Massachusetts. Williams believed that the civil magistrate should not enforce religious laws, and that each individual should be free to practice their own faith. This principle of religious liberty became a cornerstone of Rhode Island's government, and was later enshrined in the United States Constitution. Through the story of Rhode Island's founding, this book provides insight into the development of religious freedom and the principles of individual rights in America.
