The Mayflower Compact differed from the Magna Carta in that it

1. proposed rejecting the king altogether, rather than putting limits on the king's power
2. included a list of very specific laws, rather than general guidelines for people's behavior
3. described people's responsibilities to one another, rather than how the king's power should be limited
4. argued that certain rights cannot be restricted to British subjects, rather than listing why the king should be removed from power

The answer would be A/1, proposed rejecting the king altogether, rather than putting limits on the king's power. The Mayflower contract was made when they wanted to completely separate from the king, the pilgrims, and start their own self-government. The Magna Carta was created in order to stop the king from having complete power and control over everyone.

Hey there!

The Mayflower Compact differed from the Magna Carta in that it argued that certain rights cannot be restricted to British subjects, rather than listing why the king should be removed from power.

Hope this helps! :)
