Please help!! I will medal and fan! - How have the Magna Carta, Mayflower Compact, English Bill of Rights, and "Common Sense" affected what you think about government?
Well, it depends on your thoughts about the government.
What do you think about the government, @SM17E, and go from there.
The Magna Carta, English bill of rights, mayflower compact, and Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" all influenced the colonists views of government by providing a historical and philosophical basis for seeking to include certain principles in their new government that they sought to create. These factors helped to create a conversation about what type of government should be created, whether there should be a constitution and a bill of rights, and also how they would go about preventing monarchical type control of their new government. so what are your thoughts on it?
