Answer 1

The factor that most contributed to the creation of the documents listed (The Mayflower Compact, the charter establishing the Virginia House of Burgesses, and The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut) is the distance of the colonies from Great Britain.

This distance led to a need for self-governance and local decision-making as the colonies were physically separated from direct control by the British government. These documents reflect the early attempts at establishing local government and democratic principles in the colonies.
