Q. In the Mayflower Compact, why do the Pilgrims promise “all due submission and obedience”? Ans.B)to show that they will follow the colony’s rule Explanation => The Mayflower Compact is  a set of rules which was  put or bring down  into a specified state for  self-governance have done something for a long time and therefore recognized and generally accepted by the English settlers (Britishers) who moved, typically in a constant or predictable way. to the New World on the Mayflower. If we focus  carefully to the complete sentence from the Mayflower Compact, the inhabitant of a colony are taking into account different issues or ideas that they are forming a "Civil Body politic"( a group of persons politically organized under a single governmental authority) and shall "enact and frame"(put into practice the idea and formulate on it)   the system of rules which the Mayflower Compact recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and which it may enforce by the imposition of penalties for the  country which is  under the full  political control of another country and occupied by settlers from that country. And they establish the truth by following the laws in "all due submission and obedience." Hence,  option (B) gives the impression of  having  the best answer here because this sentence from the Mayflower Compact examine  the signers following the laws they commits  to make for the colony's advantage by the Pilgrims.
