Proprietary colonies were owned by joint-stock companies or individuals, while royal colonies were owned and controlled directly by the King. Massachusetts experienced dissent as some individuals like Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson challenged Puritan religious orthodoxy, leading to Williams founding Providence, RI and Hutchinson being banished. New Netherlands was established by the Dutch but was later taken over by the English and renamed New York. Rhode Island was founded by Roger Williams based on principles of religious freedom.
