Which one of the following statements is most accurate regarding the Mayflower Compact?

Question

A. It created the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
B. It founded the Plymouth colony under a proprietary governor.
C. It made Plymouth a royal colony.
D. It gave the Pilgrims their own charter

Answer 1

D. The Mayflower Compact was the first governing document of Plymouth Colony. It was drafted by the Pilgrims who crossed the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower, seeking religious freedom. It was signed on November 21, 1620 (N.S.) in what is now Provincetown Harbor near Cape Cod.

C-Mayflower Compact was passed, based upon a majoritarian model and to proclaim the settlers' allegiance to the king.

Answer 2

D.
Their tiny wooden ship, called the
Mayflower, arrived at present-day Massachusetts in the fall of
1620. There they founded Plymouth Colony. The Pilgrims, as
they called themselves, had no charter. Therefore, before they
disembarked from their ship, they gathered to draw up an
agreement. The Mayflower Compact, as the agreement
was called, allowed the Pilgrims to establish laws based on a
majority vote. It also permitted towns and villages to govern
themselves. However, all these governments had to be based
on Puritan religious ideas.

Answer 3

...that I had a relative on board?

No? Okay, then I'd have to go with D, also. I believe A was later, they probably didn't need or want a governor at the time, and definitely not C, they sailed to America to escape religious persecution (the Church of England was the Catholic Church, the pilgrims were Protestant.)

Also, a compact is another name for a charter.

Answer 4

I'd go with D

Answer 5

B and D?
