a) it created the massachusetts bay colony.

b) the colony would be based on church of england beliefs.

c) laws would be established by majority rule.

d) the colony would be set up as a royal charter.

Explanation:

• Option A: The Massachusetts Bay Colony was established separately, not by the Mayflower Compact. The Mayflower Compact was for the Plymouth Colony.
• Option B: The Pilgrims (signers of the Mayflower Compact) were Separatists who wanted to break from the Church of England, so the colony was not based on Church of England beliefs.
• Option C: The Mayflower Compact established that laws would be made by majority rule among the colonists, which is a key aspect of it.
• Option D: The colony was not set up as a royal charter; it was a self - governing agreement by the colonists.

Answer:

C) Laws would be established by majority rule.
