He advocated religious freedom which authorized the Jews to enter Rhode Island and establish the city of Newport. Rhode Island religious independence is also the foundation of the First Amendment. 
William Penn also endorsed religious freedom for other religions. The Quakers were persecuted in England and Penn helped their massive migration to Pennsylvania. He, who is like Williams, also promoted religious tolerance. Penn also promoted equal treatment of the Indians.
