C) The Mayflower Compact

I mean, the question has already explained what the Mayflower Compact is. However, a little interesting observation I've come across may help convince you. (By the way, I could be totally wrong; this is all an observation - I just thought it was interesting and extremely likely to be true.)

So, the ship the settlers of Plymouth (yes, the very same ones from this question) took had a name. What was the name? Why, well the name was Mayflower. Y'know, like the same spelling of Mayflower as the Mayflower Compact.

My assumption is that the Mayflower Compact is named as it is because of its composition. This document's name is a combination of the Mayflower ship, which they came to Plymouth on, and the word Compact: one of which's many definitions is a formal agreement, similar to a treaty or contract.

If you still don't believe me, here's a snippet from an official history textbook with the information you ask for:

answer: a parliamentary system is a system of democratic governance of a state where the executive derives its democratic legitimacy from its ability to command the confidence of the legislature, typically a parliament, and is also held accountable to that parliament. in a parliamentary system, the head of state is usually a person distinct from the head of government. this is in contrast to a presidential system, where the head of state often is also the head of government and, most importantly, the executive does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature.

countries with parliamentary democracies may be constitutional monarchies, where a monarch is the head of state while the head of government is almost always a member of parliament (such as the united kingdom, denmark, sweden, and japan), or parliamentary republics, where a mostly ceremonial president is the head of state while the head of government is regularly from the legislature (such as ireland, germany, india, and italy). in a few parliamentary republics, such as botswana, south africa, and suriname, among some others, the head of government is also head of state, but is elected by and is answerable to parliament. in bicameral parliaments, the head of government is generally, though not always, a member of the lower house.

parliamentarianism is the dominant form of government in europe, with 32 of its 50 sovereign states being parliamentarian. it is also common in the caribbean, being the form of government of 10 of its 13 island states, and in oceania. elsewhere in the world, parliamentary countries are less common, but they are distributed through all continents, most often in former colonies of the british empire that subscribe to a particular brand of parliamentarianism known as the westminster system.
