Explanation:

For Activity 1: Both Pilgrims and Puritans were English Protestants seeking religious - freedom. Pilgrims were more radical separatists who left the Church of England completely, while Puritans aimed to purify the Church of England from within.
For Activity 2: The Mayflower Compact was an early form of self - government. It established a social contract among the Pilgrims on the Mayflower, laying the groundwork for democratic governance in the New World. Evidence could include its terms that bound the signers to follow laws for the general good.
