The  distance of the colonies from Great Britain

Explanation:

The Mayflower Compact, The charter establishing the Virginia House of Burgesses and The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut were important developments that gave the people concerned some sort of self-government.

The Mayflower Compact came up with basic rules to govern colonists, the Virginia House of Burgesses was a representative house in Virginia where people were elected to and the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut basically gave structure to their government.

All this was done because the Colonies were far from the British Motherland by virtue of being separated by the Atlantic Ocean and so could not rely on the British Government to govern them in an efficient manner that would take into account their situation.

They therefore needed their own government and this why the documents in the list were created.

majority rule is most important in a representative democracy.
