The correct answer is option B: Magna Carta, Mayflower Compact, Common Sense. These historical documents played a significant role in shaping the colonists' views of government during the colonial period.
To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the options provided:
- Option A includes the Magna Carta and Common Sense, but the Iroquois Constitution is not directly related to the colonists' views of government.
- Option C includes the Virginia Declaration of Rights, Common Sense, and the Bill of Rights. While the Virginia Declaration of Rights is relevant, the Bill of Rights was not created until after the American Revolution.
- Option D mentions Common Sense, the Articles of Confederation, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man. Although Common Sense is relevant, the Articles of Confederation and the Declaration of the Rights of Man are not directly connected to the colonists.
By a process of elimination, option B is the correct answer as it includes the Magna Carta, which influenced the colonists' perception of limited government and individual rights, and the Mayflower Compact, which was a precursor to self-government in the colonies. Additionally, Common Sense, written by Thomas Paine, played a vital role in advocating for American independence and democratic principles.
