Question

What was not a key factor leading to colonial resentment toward the British government ?

Answer 1

D - Mayflower compact.

Answer 2

Answer:

D: Mayflower Compact

Explanation:

From all options, the Mayflower Compact was the only document that had nothing to do with the colonial resentment toward the British Crown. The significance of this compact lies on the fact that it was the first example of colonial European self-government in northeastern North America.

The Mayflower Compact was made by the Pilgrims (The first English settlers) that traveled to the New World on the Mayflower ship. The Pilgrims actually intended to arrive in northern Virginia but they ended up landing in Massachusetts, near Cape Cod. When they realized they were out of Virginia's jurisdiction, they created the Mayflower Compact to create a set of rules that established their authority and prevented future conflicts among them.
