The correct response is "to justify a rebellion."

The Mayflower Compact was primarily focused on establishing a new colony and creating a framework for governance among the settlers for their mutual benefit. In contrast, the Declaration of Independence aimed to justify the American colonies' decision to break away from British rule, asserting their right to self-governance and independence.
