question 4 of 10
which aspect of the mayflower compact had the most significant impact on the articles of confederation?
a. it declared independence from all other governments.
b. it established an extensive set of individual rights.
c. it limited the power of monarchs.
d. it gave the people the power to make laws and elect leaders.

Explanation:

The Mayflower Compact was a self - governing agreement by the Pilgrims. It set a precedent for self - rule where the people had a say in making laws and choosing leaders. This democratic aspect influenced the Articles of Confederation which also aimed at a form of self - governance by the states. The Mayflower Compact did not declare independence from all governments, did not establish an extensive set of individual rights like later documents, and was not about limiting monarchs as it was about self - governance in a new land.

Answer:

D. It gave the people the power to make laws and elect leaders.
