The correct answer is Maryland, as it established religious freedom for English Catholicts in 1649 with the passing of the Toleration Act.
The Maryland Toleration Act was a law that allowed tolerance to Christians who recognized the Trinity dogma as true.
Approved on September 21, 1649 by the assembly of the province of Maryland, it was the second law that dealt with the theme of religious tolerance between the British colonies of North America and the first in the world against the discrimination of opinion. The first law concerning religious matters among the North American colonies was instead approved in Rhode Island, 1636, which prohibited religious persecutions. Rhode Island was also the first colony to separate State and Church. Historians still debate whether or not this act influenced the freedom of religion that was later legislated with the creation of the United States of America.
