The Mayflower Compact (1620) and the Virginia House of Burgesses (1619) are early examples of A restrictions on religious freedom B steps toward representative government C resistance to British rule D economic systems in the colonies

The correct answer is B. The Mayflower Compact and the Virginia House of Burgesses are early examples of steps toward representative government in America.

Explanation:

-The House of Burgesses was the lower house elected in the Legislative Assembly established in the colony of Virginia in 1619 in British America. Over time, the name went on to represent the entire legislative body of the Virginia Colony, and later, after the American Revolution, it became the General Assembly of Virginia, the current state assembly.

-The Mayflower Compact was the first government document in the Plymouth colony.

The document was written by the Pilgrim Fathers, the immigrants who crossed the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower, seeking for religious freedom. It was signed on November 11, 1620 on the shores of what is now Provincetown, near Cape Cod.

It is considered by some as the foundation of the Constitution of the United States of America.
