The pilgrim story starts with the signing of the Magna Carta. King John effectively surrendered Royal Sovereignty and admitted that the king was subject to the law.

This idea floated around until hidden in Luther's 95 thesis was the challenge that the Pope also was subject to the law.

If kings and popes were subject to the law, the natural conclusion is that all men were created equal under God. And if they are equal then proper government was established by the consent of the governed, by right and responsibility.

The pilgrims formed a covenental society based on this principle. All the ancillary concepts like freedom of religion , work ethics, free markets, etc. are wrapped up in the foundational idea that all men are created equal.

With the removal of God from the formative idea, the concept of the responsibility of the governed is also lost. The pilgrim story starts with the signing of the Magna Carta. King John effectively surrendered Royal Sovereignty and admitted that the king was subject to the law.

How was Martin Luthers idea of translating the Bible into German a major act to the Catholic Church and how does it relate to the beliefs of the Renaissance?

Martin Luther did NOT have the idea of putting the Bible in German, it had been done dozens if not hundreds of times before Martin Luther, we have existing copies of German Bibles back to the fourth century, Martin Luther did not make his translation until the 16th century, twelve centuries later. The "major act", if you will, was that Martin Luther was the first to change the Bible to suit his own purposes, he removed books with which he didn't agree and inserted words to agree with his preconceived notions. How it relates to the Renaissance could be argued many ways, the Renaissance, in essence, was a nostalgia for a pre-Christian era of antiquity that put humanism above God, which is more than a little cheeky towards your Creator.

How might squanto experience with the English relate to the pilgrims first encounter with the Indians?

Squanto's experience with the English, including being captured and taken to Europe before returning to America, provided him with knowledge of the English language and customs. When the Pilgrims encountered Squanto and the Native Americans, his ability to communicate and bridge the cultural gap helped establish an alliance and facilitate peaceful relations between the two groups. Squanto's experience with the English laid the foundation for collaboration and mutual understanding during the Pilgrims' early interactions with the Native Americans.
