Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation
:</u>
Mayflower Compact was a covenant entered into by the English settlers providing for the rules of self-government when they made their journey to the New World by ship named as Mayflower. This compact was signed by 41 male colonists which included two servants on the 11th November, 1620.
This covenant had laid the cornerstone for the U.S. Constitution. This compact essentially enshrines the theory of social contract which implies that there is either hypothetical or actual contract between the subjects and the ruler and also enumerates the rights as well as duties of every party to the contract.
