They were banished because they dissented from the Puritan way.

Both challenged the colony’s religious authority and practices: Hutchinson for her antinomian teachings and public criticism of ministers, Williams for advocating religious liberty, separation of church and state, and criticizing the colony’s seizure of Native lands.
