In what 1620 document do the writers form a civil body politic?

US Constitution
Declaration of Independence
Mayflower Compact
Magna Carta

The correct answer is: Mayflower Compact

The Mayflower Compact was a written agreement created by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower ship in 1620. It established a civil body politic for self-governance and helped lay the foundation for later forms of government in the United States. Option A, the US Constitution, was created in 1787 and did not reference a civil body politic. Option B, the Declaration of Independence, was written in 1776 and declared the thirteen American colonies independent from British rule, but did not establish a civil body politic. Option D, the Magna Carta, was signed in 1215 and was an English document outlining rights and liberties for barons and other subjects, not specifically addressing a civil body politic.
