That the colonists are still on the king's side and they would have decided to do 2 things at once; being a subject for the king and are colonists that are with his side.

Kelcie

That means that even though we aren't on the british soil the colonists were still ruled by the king up until the american revolution broke out.

(Paragraphs 1-2)

After a 2 month ride to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, they have decided to establish a colony there because King James of England had given permission to do so, but some Pilgrims were arguing that it would take a while so they had to govern themselves to compromise.

(Paragraphs 3-5)

Most passengers had fled to America so they wouldn't have any consequences from Europe and more people had joined together just to make groups and colonies, They had written a document so they can continue building their government and chose to do a modern democracy.

This shows how the people, although not on the kings land, they are still getting ruled by the king, or on the king's side.

Nishan

they still support the king because even though there are of the colonists, they are still are part of king James's rule or side.

VRINDA

1746705 — 2025-09-24 16:22:07 UTC

The main idea of the text, "The Mayflower Compact", was how the Pilgrims sailed for more than 2 months, then reached Cape God, and established a new Colony there with the king's approval. they made a document saying the rights and laws written and signed by the pilgrims altogether. Although they are not on king James's land, king James was still ruling over the new area.

This means that even though the colonists were in Britain they were under the control of the king.

VRINDA

1746705 — 2025-09-24 16:27:25 UTC

In the text, it states on paragraph 4, "Eventually, many of these countries decided to govern themselves" This piece of text evidence supports my answer because it shows how the counties were unhappy with the British's rule, so they decided to rule themselves.

Jithya

172333_5 — 2025-09-24 16:29:47 UTC

The pilgrims sailed for more than 2 months to establish a new colony but, the king was still in charge of the new colony.

In paragraph 3, it says, "The empire included numerous countries, territories, and other domains, each of which obeyed British law and recognized the king or queen as its sovereign ruler." In paragraph 4, it says, "Eventually, many of these countries decided to govern themselves." This tells me that the people were unhappy and wanted to govern themselves.

helen

1614931 — 2025-09-25 16:06:19 UTC

The people did not obey the British rule because it was unfair for people and the thing is that the rule will be expanding to the rest of the countries so that's why they wanted to govern themselves.

1614931 — 2025-09-25 16:08:58 UTC

Vrutansh

166249_3 — 2025-09-27 16:26:33 UTC

I can infer that the colonists were ruled by the king but still on the kings side means that they were the loyal subjects of king James there.

Vrutansh

166249_3 — 2025-09-27 16:36:04 UTC

the main idea of the text ' The Mayflower Compact' is that. The pilgrims sailed for more than 2 months to reach the cape God, when they did they established a whole colony there. But still yet they didn't make it on the kings land but the king ruled the area.

Vrutansh

166249_3 — 2025-09-28 16:37:57 UTC

I can support this inference because in the text ' The Commonwealth'. in paragraph 4 it states that ' Eventually, many of these countries decided to govern themselves'. This shows how people were unhappy about the British rule and started to do it themselves.

"Many of the passengers on the mayflower had fled to the us to escape religious persecution in Europe". This explains that they were unhappy, because they ESCAPED to the USA. Also, the king was probably a brutal ruler to the people.

Peter

1614964 — 2025-09-29 16:31:54 UTC

Some text evidence to support your inference is, in the text it says,"Eventually many of these countries decided to govern themselves." This shows me that they are unhappy and they decided to govern themselves.

Kelcie

162498_3 — 2025-10-01 16:10:31 UTC

The big IDEA of the text "The Mayflower Compact" is that they fled from great Britain to what is now America/cope cod. To escape the strict rules of the New England church rules. They had the Kings approval he gave them permission to settle there. some argued it would take months while others disagreed.

KELCIE

162498_3 — 2025-10-01 16:17:04 UTC

In paragraph 3 I can infer that people were unhappy to follow great Britain's rules it states "each of which obeyed British laws and recongnized the king or queen as its sovereign ruler". This shows that they might have disagreed with the laws.

The main idea of the text the mayflower compact is, the mayflower left England and reached Cape cod and then they planned on creating a new colony. after the government wrote a document and made the Mayflower Compact.

In the past the British queen or king made laws and forced the countries they ruled over had to obey them some fought in battles to gain independence whiles others still were governed those that will still governed created a a commonwealth group to make peace.

Kelcie

162498_3 — 2025-10-01 16:36:10 UTC

In both texts they were unhappy but came up with a solution to solve it.

That means that the Colonists on King James side were still loyal to him and still agreed on him with the compact.

1608642 — 2025-10-01 16:43:59 UTC

this means that even that the britain were still under the control of the king and how the king rules

VRINDA

1746705 — 2025-10-01 21:53:27 UTC

the main idea is that the British once controlled and had rule over many countries around the world, but then those countries later gained independence, but many of them remain connected though the Commonwealth, which was cooperation between the countries and shared values.

Vrinda

1746705 — 2025-10-01 21:56:10 UTC

In both of the texts, people had a problem, they had disagreements and conflicts, but then, at last, they finally solved their problems.

I can infer that people under the british rule were unhappy because in paragraph 4 it states " Eventually many of these governments decided to govern themselves. This shows that since everyone was unhappy with the british rule because they governed themselves because they didn't like the rule.

1619242 — 2025-10-03 01:02:02 UTC

1619242 — 2025-10-03 01:26:55 UTC

At that time the British empire had a lot of power and they formed the United kingdom and spread their rule across the globe. Many hated and disliked their rule, some countries even governed themselves and one day the countries became independent from the British law and all lived peacefully.

1619242 — 2025-10-03 01:58:21 UTC

1634822 — 2025-10-03 03:38:45 UTC

This shows that the people are loyal to their king as they are not on his land but still want to follow his rules/respect him.

Sid

1634822 — 2025-10-03 03:44:28 UTC

The Pilgrims traveled to Massachusetts and founded a colony with the king's permission. They sought a new land patent, leading to a compromise. Fleeing England in search of a better life, they established their own government based on democratic principles.

Sid

1634822 — 2025-10-03 03:46:15 UTC

In paragraph 4, the text mentions, "Eventually, many of these countries decided to govern themselves." This evidence supports my answer by illustrating that the countries were dissatisfied with British rule and chose to establish their own governance.

Nishan

1627071 — 2025-10-03 16:33:03 UTC

people from England had problems with the government, so and soon they solved there problems and they were living in peace.
