The Roger Williams's problem with the Puritans in America is "he did not agree with punishing people for breaking the rules of the church".

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Roger Williams was an advocate for separation of church and state, religious freedom and for justified dealings with American Indians. While in 16th and 17th century the Puritans were English Protestants, intended to filter and purify the Church of England by excluding Roman Catholic practices.

Roger Williams was expelled by the Massachusetts General Court for his radical religious views and political ideas. He challenged his fellow Puritans to say that he did not agree to punish people for breaking Church rules.
