<span>Henrik Ibsen used short, staccato-like sentences to represent realistic language in Hedda Gabler.
Ibsen was a Realist, which means that he tried to do everything in his power to make his texts portray the spirit of the era he lived in. One of the ways to do that is through speech that characters deliver in his works, as is the case in Hedda Gabler, one of his most famous works. </span>

• The Mayflower Compact
Alla [95]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The distance of the colonies from Great Britain was the factor that contributed to the creation of the documents in the list.

Explanation:

The Mayflower Pact, signed on November 21, 1620 by the Pilgrim Fathers, was the first government document that was operative in the territory of the United States. His objective was to set rules of government for the Plymouth colony, which was about to be created.

For its part, the House of Burgesses of Virginia was the first autonomous legislature founded in America, in 1619. It had operational freedom with respect to the British Parliament, and was in charge of legislating regarding the life of the Virginia colonists and the colony in general.

Finally, the Fundamentals Orders of Connecticut, approved in 1639, were the fundamental rule of the cities located in that region, destined to regulate the organization of the government and the rights of its citizens.

In all cases, these were initiatives by the colonists to regulate their political and civil affairs with autonomy from Great Britain, which is explained by the distance of the metropolis from the colonies. Thus, the settlers understood that they were the ones who best understood their situation, and not the parliamentarians who were thousands of kilometers away in London.
