Explanation:

The island had a great history. Williams founded it in 1636. He had guaranteed religious freedom to refugees in Massachusetts Bay. The liberal colonies later granted this. It is also the home of the Baptist church and first Quaker meetinghouses. Rhode Island became de-colonized and was from the colonizers. The leaders were, however, fearful of a powerful government, and as a result, they did not amend the constitution. It is because of this that it became the 13th colony in ratifying the constitution.
