A	Fredrick Douglass
B	John Winthrop
C	Benjamin Franklin
D	Mayflower Compact

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Undertaken – done. Solemnly –seriously. Mutually-we all do it together.

Detailed explanation-2: -The rest of the Mayflower Compact is very short. It simply bound the signers into a “Civil Body Politic” for the purpose of passing “just and equal Laws . . . for the general good of the Colony.” But those few words expressed the idea of self-government for the first time in the New World.

Detailed explanation-3: -In political philosophy, the phrase consent of the governed refers to the idea that a government’s legitimacy and moral right to use state power is justified and lawful only when consented to by the people or society over which that political power is exercised.

Detailed explanation-4: -Why would the Mayflower voyagers consider the colony as an advancement of the Christian Faith? They considered themselves as “Advancement of the Christian Faith” because now they have the freedom to practice whatever religion they want and they can practice it whenever they want.
