The first form of self-government in the colonies that established the concept of majority rule was the Mayflower Compact. It was signed by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower in 1620, before they landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The Compact established a government based on the consent of the governed and allowed the majority to make decisions for the welfare of the colony.
