B) Maryland

C) Connecticut

A

Rhode Island was formed by Roger Williams because he thought church was wack

The correct answer is A. The New England colony that did not require all adults to attend church services was Rhode Island.

Explanation:

Roger Williams founded the colony of Rhode Island in 1644. Regarding religious freedom, he proclaimed absolute freedom for both Christians, Jews, Turks and pagans, who were to have equal civil and political rights. This tolerance aroused misgivings among the other colonies of New England.

When Providence was founded, the founding pact promised that all the inhabitants would obey the laws dictated by the majority only in civil matters, leaving religion excluded from temporary legislation, recognizing for the first time full freedom in religious matters.
