5. which one of the following statements is most accurate regarding the Mayflower Compact?

A. It created the Massachusetts Bay Colony.


B. It founded the Plymouth colony under a proprietary governor.


C.It made Plymoutha royal colony.


D. It gave the Pilgrams their own charter.

5. which one of the following statements is most accurate regarding the Mayflower Compact?
D. I can understand why some say B, but the Compact makes NO mention of a governor or any other specifics about a form of government. In that sense it was not a


"constitution" (that is, laying out a FORM of government).





Rather, the settlers were making a "covenant" to work together to make their own laws and to abide by them. (The Puritan tradition made much of church and civil covenants.)
