Which document created the government the Puritans would follow? A. The Virginia Declaration of Rights B. The Mayflower Compact C. The Virginia Company Charters D. The Magna Carta

Answer 1

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mayflower Compact, is the right answer.

The Mayflower Compact served as the first ruling document in the colony of Plymouth. The male pilgrims of the Mayflower, involving adventurers, tradesmen and separatist Puritans signed this document. The main reason why they signed this document was that the Puritans were fleeing from ecclesiastical oppression by James, the then King of England. The Puritans decided to form their own government, while still declaring their loyalty to the British Crown.
