In what ways did the colonies of Maryland and Pennsylvania serve as models of religious toleration during the colonial period? How did Rhode Island serve as a model of free exercise?

 Rhode Island’s experience was a catalyst to the development of these values. Under the terms of its founding Charter, Rhode Island stood alone among the colonies in its desire to hold forth a lively experiment that a most flourishing civil State may stand and best be maintained with a full liberty of religious concernments.

When Maryland was established in 1632, it drew people (Christians and workers) due to its economic activities. Christians as a minority experienced discrimination, which resulted in Christians being shipped back to England. In 1649 the Maryland Toleration Act was passed, this law protected Christians against protestants discrimination. Pennsylvania was established in 1681 as a place of refuge for Christians who seeked freedom of conscience, but Pennsylvania did discriminate against non-Christians, because only a person of christian faith could hold office.

Rhodes Island on the other hand was established as a colony that allowed people of different faith and/or non-believers to live together and practice their faith freely without discrimination.

Explanation:

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
