it stated that the pilgrims would rule themselves.
it stated that the king would rule the pilgrims.
it stated that all puritans were welcome in massachusetts.

Explanation:

First Question (Motivation for New England Settlers)

• Debtors moving to English colonies (like Georgia) were different; New England settlers weren't primarily debtors.
• New England settlers (Puritans) sought to practice their own religion freely, not create a haven for all religions (that was more Rhode Island or Pennsylvania in some aspects).
• Economic gain was more a motivation for Southern or Middle colonies; New England was more religiously driven. So the correct reason is they wanted to practice their religion freely.

• The Mayflower Compact was created as the Pilgrims were outside Virginia Company's jurisdiction. It was a self - governing agreement where they agreed to rule themselves, creating a basis for self - government in America. It didn't involve the King ruling them (they were seeking autonomy) or being about welcoming all Puritans to Massachusetts (it was about governance, not religious inclusion of Puritans in that way).

Answer:

C. They wanted to practice their religion freely.
