Step-by-step explanation:

In direct violation of Puritan doctrine and church structure, she believed heaven was open to those who worshipped God through a personal connection, without the need of any church intervention. These and other beliefs caused Hutchinson and her family to be banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Final answer:

Anne Hutchinson was kicked out of Massachusetts for her criticism of the religious practices in the colony, particularly the teachings of the Puritan ministers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anne Hutchinson at that time was kicked out of Massachusetts for her criticism of the evolving religious practices in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. She believed that the Puritan ministers in New England taught a shallow version of Protestantism and emphasized hierarchy and actions, rather than a covenant of grace.

Her faith in direct religious revelation put the ministers' authority to the test. In addition to this, Hutchinson's major offence was her claim of direct religious revelation, which contradicted the role of ministers. As a result, she was tried, convicted, excommunicated, and banished from the colony in the year 1638.
