dated November 21, 1620
When the Separatist group decided that they must leave England and look for another homeland, Pastor John Robinson sent with them a long letter in which he outlined a plan for setting up a new government based on democratic principles.
The Mayflower Compact which was signed on board the Mayflower at Cape Cod on November 21, 1620, was the direct outcome of Robinson's guidance.
This Compact, which was to be the official Constitution of Plymouth Colony for over 70 years, is the first American State Paper. It is also the first statement of the principles of democracy as we now know and understand them. For the first time in the history of the world, a group of men, of their own will, agreed to be governed by themselves according to the will of the majority.
The Mayflower Compact is the first document of American Democracy.
