Answer:

self-government based on a local contract

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mayflower Compact influenced the growth of representative government in the colonies by providing the basis for "self-government based on a local contract." This was evident in the journal of William Bradford of Plymouth Plantation, based on his experience in the colony.

1. The compact covers loyalty to King James, despite their need for self-government

2. Creation of laws to govern the colony

3. Creation and development of one society for the settlers

3. To live as Christians.
