Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. The author explores pivotal moments and figures from the founding of the Rhode Island colony. Beginning with a charge against its founders for violating the colony's founding charter through a religious test for citizenship, the book seeks to exonerate the founders and determine the origins of the test. The book's true focus is the colony's founding principles of religious liberty in a broader historical context; chiefly, how these principles were both adhered to and occasionally violated during the colony's formative years. The book goes on to examine how the religious ideals of founder Roger Williams were interpreted and implemented as the colony grew and developed. Despite inconsistencies in the account of events and accusations of hypocrisy, the book illuminates the complex relationship between religious freedom and political power in the founding of the United States.
