remembering the battle of bunker hill, what did general howe and his troops do?
a) forced washington out of massachusetts.
b) regrouped after losing the hill.
c) celebrated their clear victory.
d) left boston seeing washingtons reinforcements.

Explanation:

For the Mayflower Compact question: The Mayflower Compact was an agreement by the Pilgrims to create a self-governing community where laws would be made by majority consent. It was not a royal charter, not tied to Church of England beliefs as the Pilgrims were Separatists, and it applied to the Plymouth Colony, not the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
For the Battle of Bunker Hill question: British General Howe's troops captured the hill but suffered heavy casualties. They did not force Washington out of Massachusetts immediately, did not have a "clear victory" due to losses, and did not leave Boston right after. Instead, they regrouped after taking the hill at a high cost.

Answer:

1. A) Laws would be established by majority rule.
2. B) regrouped after losing the hill.
