D. I can understand why some say B, but the Compact makes NO mention of a governor or any other specifics about a form of government. In that sense it was not a
"constitution" (that is, laying out a FORM of government).
Rather, the settlers were making a "covenant" to work together to make their own laws and to abide by them. (The Puritan tradition made much of church and civil covenants.)

Basically taking your test for you is unethical. If you have it long enough to post on here, why don't you google the answers or look them up in the book? There isn't any guarantee that a bunch of strangers will give you the right answers either.
