Explanation:

To determine the correct description of the Mayflower Compact (1620), we analyze each option:

• The red box describes a constitutional monarchy (not the Mayflower Compact).
• The orange box refers to the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution (not the Mayflower Compact).
• The green box describes the Magna Carta (an English document limiting monarchical power, not the Mayflower Compact).
• The blue box states: “The first agreement for self - government in America. It was signed by the 41 men on the Mayflower and set up a government for the Plymouth colony.” This matches the historical definition of the Mayflower Compact (1620), as it was the first framework for self - governance in colonial America, signed by Mayflower passengers to establish order in Plymouth Colony.

Answer:

The first agreement for self - government in America. It was signed by the 41 men on the Mayflower and set up a government for the Plymouth colony. (the description in the blue box)
