The Mayflower Compact reflected democratic principles primarily because **it established self-government based on majority rule**. This agreement was created by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower in 1620 and laid the foundation for a system of governance that emphasized the consent of the governed and collective decision-making. By agreeing to form a government and abide by its laws, the colonists exemplified the democratic principle of self-determination. The other options do not accurately reflect the democratic ideals embodied in the Compact.
