1. what principle is reflected in this excerpt from the mayflower compac
2. direct democracy
3. absolute monarchy
4. government by consent
5. separation of powers

Explanation:

For question 1:

• The text mentions Englishmen seizing the country, cutting down trees, and their livestock consuming resources. This is a result of European settlement in North America. Native Americans were not wasting resources (contradicts the description of a resource - rich land before European arrival). Intermarriage is not the cause described, and there is no mention of sachems destroying colonists' crops.

For question 2:

• The text says “All the sachems [tribal chiefs] both to the east and the west have joined... fall upon them at a day appointed”. This indicates forming alliances to fight the colonial settlers. There is no mention of leaving land to become hunters/gatherers, relocating west of the Appalachians, or making peace agreements.

For question 3:

• The Mayflower Compact excerpt “solemnly and mutually... combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politic” reflects government by consent. Direct democracy would involve more immediate voting on all matters (not indicated here). Absolute monarchy is ruled by a single monarch (opposite of the compact's group - based approach). Separation of powers (legislative, executive, judicial) is not described in the excerpt.

Answer:

1. 2. European settlement in North America
2. 3. forming alliances to fight the colonial settlers
3. 3. Government by consent
