question 3 of 10
the provisions of the mayflower compact would influence later documents like the articles of confederation. which of the following is not a reason the colonists created and signed the mayflower compact?
a. to cut all ties with the british king
b. to protect the group
c. to serve the \general good\
d. to keep order

Explanation:

The Mayflower Compact (1620) was signed to maintain order, protect the group, and serve the "general good" for the Plymouth Colony. It did not aim to cut ties with the British king—colonists still acknowledged royal authority at that time. Cutting ties with Britain came much later, during the American Revolution. Thus, option A is not a reason for creating the Compact.

Answer:

A. To cut all ties with the British king
