Why was rhode island founded? a. as an expansion of puritan massachusetts b. as a place for those seeking cultural diversity c. as a haven for those who owed the government money d. as a haven for those who disagreed with puritan beliefs mark for review (will be highlighted on the review page)

The answer for this is D. As a haven for those who disagreed with Puritan beliefs

Most Puritans believe in the Church of England, they didn't set up separate religious congregations different from the Church of England. But some Puritans who were called as the "separating Puritans" were advocates of setting congregations outside the Church. One of these groups is The Colony of Rhode Island spearheaded by Roger Williams. They founded Rhode Island after being expelled from Massachusetts Bay Colony for having unorthodox religious opinions. 

Hope this helps. :)
