Answer:

Roger Williams was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony because he argued for the separation of church and state.

Step-by-step explanation:

Roger Williams was an American Baptist theologian and pastor. He was an atypical figure of North American theology in the colonial era, mainly because of his ideas of separation of church and state, which made him being expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636, founding the Colony of Rhode Island. In the 1640s, he developed a political theology whose surprisingly innovative insights proved decisive in the subsequent evolution of the colonies of New England, then of the United States of America. Williams founded the first Baptist Church in America, "First Baptist Church of Providence", in 1638.
