George calvert roger william william penn what does anne hutchinson have in common with the people on this list? a: all founded a new england colony b: all preferred representative government c: all were against the slave trade d: all were concerned with religious liberty

Correct  

D. All were concerned with religious liberty.

Details:

George Calvert, First Baron Baltimore, was a Catholic who helped create a colonial safe haven for Catholics who were persecuted in England.  He became proprietor of Avalon, an English  settlement on the island of Newfoundland (off the coast of what is Canada today).  As proprietor of the colony, Lord Calvert made sure to allow for the religious needs of both Protestants and Catholics to be met.Roger Williams established the Rhode Island colony with a commitment to keeping church and state separate, providing a place for persons of all religious groups to settle with equality.William Penn founded Pennsylvania as a safe place for Quakers (like himself), but the colony also welcomed religious dissenters of other sorts, attracting Huguenots, Mennonites, Amish, Catholics, Lutherans, and Jews. Anne Hutchinson opposed some of the harsh rules of Puritan ministers in Massachusetts Bay Colony.  Today, a monument at the State House in Massachusetts honors her as a "courageous exponent of civil liberty and religious toleration."
