Answer:
it is B.
Explanation:
The Mayflower Compact of 1620:
was signed by men from one of the first groups of English colonists who came to America
set up a government and the first written laws for the new settlers arriving at Plymouth Colony (now the state of Massachusetts)
created laws for the "general good" (common good) of the settlement
included the idea of "will of the majority," where decisions are made based on what the majority of people agree to do
included the idea of the social contract where the settlers consented to follow the Compact's rules for the sake of the survival of the new colony
influenced Americans to think that British policies and laws harmed instead of supported the common good
influenced Americans to think that King George III, in their own time, was breaking the social contract where he was bound to protect their rights and provide security
was the foundation of the U.S. Constitution according to John Adams and other Founding Fathers
Big Idea: The Mayflower Compact is an example of self-government. The people would determine laws and government for themselves rather than an outside government doing it for them.
It is true that "<span>D. Patricians held the political power and did not want to allow the common people a voice in government." It was very hard to break free of the lower classes. </span>
