C.

D.
Virginia Declaration of Rights

Answer 1

Answer:

C). The charter for Jamestown

Explanation:

The correct document to fill the red box would be 'The charter for Jamestown' as it was issued in the year 1606 which preceded the 'Mayflower Compact' in 1620 which passed the idea of just and equal rules for self-governance. 'The First Virginia Charter' is characterized as the document issued by King James I in 1606. The document allocated the colonists with land rights with the key aim to disseminate Christianity. The first settlers were instructed for composing a ruling council and appoint members for the executive group. Thus, option C is the correct answer as the other documents were released after the 'Mayflower compact.'
