Explanation

The Mayflower Covenant was a document written by new settlers who arrived in Provincetown Harbor, near Massachusetts aboard the Mayflower ship (hence the name of the covenant) in November 1620. The origin of the Mayflower Covenant is due to the need for a seft-government of the new colonists, so it was drafted with fair and equitable laws that sought the general good of the colony because they knew that the former colonists of the New World failed due to lack of government. The 41 adult men on board are said to have signed in the Mayflower's cabin the agreement that established the system by which they wished to govern themselves on November 21, 1620. So, the correct answer is D. Affirmed the right to seft-government.
