the constitution
The document written by the pilgrims to ensure government by the consent of the people was called the Mayflower Compact. The agreement was designed to ensure peace between the two groups coming to the New World.
Colonists in America became increasingly angry with King George III and the English Parliament in the years before the Revolutionary War. Much of this anger was caused because the colonists were given no representation in the government regarding issues such as taxation. Parliament passed many laws taxing the colonies without their agreement and these taxes became very burdensome.
that government should exist by the consent of the people.
The way i said this is kindia confusing but i still answered it! The conflict showed colonies that a king or power was needed. But when the king or leader uses his power to get more money without consent from the Parliament/ Government. In return that makes the king stronger than the Parliament or government but the purpose of the Parliament was to limit the power of the king. It just proves that a king or leader and Parliament or government is needed to form a equal power to make decisions for the colony. In short terms: Just read the 1st and last sentence (P.S im answering all the questions in the packet just keep folowling me this is the 1st one)
