| Roger Williams, an English religious nonconformist, founded the American colony of Rhode Island in the 1630s under the principles of religious freedom and the separation of Church and State. Williams’s example contributed to the adoption of a system of religious tolerance by the framers of the Constitution of the United States. | ||||||
