Explanation:

Question 1

The Mayflower Compact was created by the Pilgrims to establish a form of self - governance in the new colony. Declaring independence from Britain was done by the Declaration of Independence. The Mayflower Compact was not mainly about religious freedom (that was more related to why they came), and forming a military alliance with Native Americans was not its purpose. So the correct option is the one about self - governance based on majority rule.

The Magna Carta (1215) was the first document that established the idea that the king was not above the law, as it placed limits on the king's power. The English Bill of Rights came later, the U.S. Constitution is for the US, and the Mayflower Compact was for colonial self - governance.

The English Bill of Rights was enacted in 1689 and it limited the powers of the English monarchy. The Magna Carta was in 1215, the Mayflower Compact was for the colony, and the Declaration of Independence was for US independence.

Answer:

B. To create self - governance based on majority rule
