This was because Hutchinson preached the doctrine of predestination where she thought the enforcement of proper behavior for church members would change nothing since God has already predetermined human salvation or damnation. Roger Williams was also expelled from the land for his attempts to separate the church from the state as he believed tax collectors’ money way ‘dirty’ for the God’s work.
