The correct option is "religious freedom".

James Oglethorpe was an English officer who founded the colony of Georgia under the British rule. He had a stint in Parliament, where he worked in a committee that debated over prison reforms. After this experience, he came up with the idea where poor people could start a new, better life and where protestant sects could live peacefully without the fear of being prosecuted.
