Anne Hutchinson was put on trial in 1637 for her beliefs that individuals could interpret The Bible without the church or its ministers. Her views challenged the established Puritan authorities in Massachusetts, leading to her conviction for heresy. She was subsequently banished from the colony and moved to Rhode Island, where she continued to promote her theological beliefs. Hutchinson's trial and exile highlighted the tensions between individual religious expression and institutional authority in early colonial America.
