Answer 1

Anne Hutchinson, George Calvert, Roger Williams, and William Penn all contributed to founding colonies based on religious freedom in early America.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anne Hutchinson has something in common with George Calvert, Roger Williams, and William Penn: A) Founding a colony based on religious freedom. All these individuals were influential in the establishment of colonies that embraced religious tolerance and freedom. Hutchinson, influenced by the sermons of John Cotton, was excommunicated and banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony due to her beliefs and defiance of Puritan authority. She moved to Rhode Island, whose founder, Roger Williams, had also been banished for his religious views. Williams founded Rhode Island as a colony that allowed religious diversity and tolerance. George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore, sought to create a haven for Catholics in the colony of Maryland. William Penn founded Pennsylvania as a colony where Quakers could practice their faith without persecution. These founders contributed significantly to the American colonies' religious landscape.
