Book 7 || The Mayflower Compact
The Mayflower Compact, signed on November 11, 1620, aboard the ship Mayflower, is a foundational document for the governance of the Plymouth Colony, one of the first English settlements in North America. The Compact was drafted by the Pilgrims, who were seeking religious freedom, to establish a social contract for self-governance in the New World. It was necessary because the Pilgrims had landed outside the bounds of their original charter. The document outlined the principles of majority rule, cooperation, and the collective welfare of the settlers. All male passengers of the Mayflower signed the Compact, agreeing to form a "civil body politic" and abide by the laws and regulations that would be established for the good of the colony. The Mayflower Compact is significant for being an early form of democracy and self-government in America, influencing the development of colonial and later American governance structures..
