Like the Mayflower Compact, the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut is an early example of democracy. Think about the excerpts you read. Then write two to three sentences in which you state three elements of democracy laid forth in the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The three elements of democracy laid forth in the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut were the following.

1.- The setup of the form of government. In this case, self-government.

2.- The omission of any reference to the English government.

3.- The petition to the King of England to get a royal charter.

On January 14, 1639, the Colony of Connecticut adopted the Fundamental Orders as part of its Constitution. These orders established the form of government and powers for the towns of the Connecticut River.

It was something similar to the Mayflower Compact, in which the signers announced that this would be a land governed by the American people. This concept was called self-government.
