The correct answer is C) church governance.

Many of the early colonial governments in North America were most influenced in their structure by church governance.

They had so many differences with the Church of England and tried to find a new place to follow their religious principles with freedom. So in 1620, they arrived at Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where they found the colony of Plymouth under very strict religious regulations.
