Explanation:

Question 13

The Mayflower Compact was created by the Pilgrims to establish a civil government where signers agreed to follow majority decisions for order in the new colony. The second option is incorrect (it's not about paying for the ship), the third is incorrect (it didn't involve forcing American Indians), so the first option is correct.

Early English settlements like Jamestown were funded by joint - stock companies, where investors pooled money for colonization. Government bonds, income tax increases, and government deficit spending were not the means for early English settlement funding. So the first option is correct.

Answer:

A. To establish a civil government that bound all signers to abide by the decisions of the majority.
