∙ 9y agoThe members of the Plymouth Colony agreed to obey their own laws, "just and equal" laws that would be passed by the members themselves as necessary for the general good of the colony. They created their own self-government instead of being subject to the laws of a royal governor or great landowner as people were in other parts of the colonies, such as Virginia, which had been their original destination. This agreement, called the Mayflower Compact, is considered the first example of formal self-government by a white community in the American colonies.
