 As was discussed in [[New England - the Great Emigration|New England - the Great Emigration]], the founding and early years of the Massachusetts Bay colonies were lead by people who sought to establish a "Bible Commonwealth" and establish a "particular church".  Their views were their own and most of local public opinion was with them.  There were a few determined and forceful dissenters, but dissenting opinions were not tolerated.  Some of the colonies to the south of Massachusetts were started by such people who were either exiled or left Massachusetts.

 It was, therefore, a collection of odd ducks that established the first 4 colonies in what was to become Rhode Island.  Their major contribution seems to be that they were more democratic minded than what had come before in Massachusetts and demonstratively more individualistic.  They united in few things except about local town rights.  And towns united only in disputes with other states.
 :However, there also existed among their strong opinions, strong toleration of the opinions of others.

 :*This was done without license from the king.  So the Providence settlers took care of their own government until such time as the king provided permission and direction, which occurred some 25 years later.

 :*They wrote and signed a covenant that read:
