The Mayflower Compact is important because of its principle, that a government's authority derives from the consent of the governed.

The Plymouth Colony became the most democratic colony at that time, since every adult male head of household was a shareholder in the company and had the right to vote for governor of the colony.

What did the Mayflower Compact have to do with the revolution?
The Mayflower Compact was drawn up by the British people on board the Mayflower and signed by the 41 Adult 'male' members of the trip. It was a document that granted equal rights and laws to all those under it. Most of these people were being persecuted in England and its territories for being separatists, not Protestant's. They understood that much of the reason that the earlier settlers failed was from a lack of government to protect the individual rights. This was the first document written in the 'new' world that spoke of God's unalienable rights and the covenants between God and man.As to it's important role in the American Revolution and the United States. Not only was it a foundation of the rights and freedoms guaranteed to all man but,John Adams and many historians referred to the Mayflower compact as the foundation of the U.S. Constitution which was written over 150 years later.The original compact has been lost, but the journal of William Bradford which a copy of can be seen at Plymouth (Plimouth) Plantation in Plymouth Massachusetts.Is what is seen as the accurate penning of the compact.It starts with; "In the name of God, Amen..."and ends with: "...In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the eleventh of November, ..."

Who written the Mayflower compact?
History behind the Mayflower CompactThe Mayflower Compact was signed on 11 November 1620 on board the Mayflower, which was at anchor in Provincetown Harbor. The document was drawn up in response to "mutinous speeches" that had come about because the Pilgrims had intended to settle in Northern Virginia, but the decision was made after arrival to instead settle in New England. Since there was no government in place, some felt they had no legal obligation to remain within the colony and supply their labor. The Mayflower Compact attempted to temporarily establish that government until a more official one could be drawn up in England that would give them the right to self-govern themselves in New England.In a way, this was the first American Constitution, though the Compact in practical terms had little influence on subsequent American documents. John Quincy Adams, a descendant of Mayflower passenger John Alden, does call the Mayflower Compact the foundation of the U.S. Constitution in a speech given in 1802, but this was in principle more than in substance. In reality, the Mayflower Compact was superseded in authority by the 1621 Peirce Patent, which not only gave the Pilgrims the right to self-government at Plymouth, but had the significant advantage of being authorized by the King of England.The Mayflower Compact was first published in 1622. William Bradford wrote a copy of the Mayflower Compact down in his History Of Plymouth Plantation which he wrote from 1630-1654, and that is the version given above. Neither version gave the names of the signers. Nathaniel Morton in hisNew England's Memorial, published in 1669, was the first to record and publish the names of the signers, and Thomas Prince in his Chronological History of New England in the form of Annals (1736) recorded the signers names as well, as did Thomas Hutchinson in 1767. It is unknown whether the later two authors had access to the original document, or whether they were simply copying Nathaniel Morton's list of signers.The original Mayflower Compact has never been found, and is assumed destroyed. Thomas Prince may have had access to the original in 1736, and possibly Thomas Hutchinson did in 1767. If it indeed survived, it was likely a victim of Revolutionary War looting, along with other such Pilgrim valuables as Bradford's now lost Register of Births and Deaths, his partially recovered Letterbook, and his entirely recovered History Of Plymouth Plantation.The term "Mayflower Compact" was not assigned to this document until 1793, when for the first time it is called the Compact in Alden Bradford's A Topographical Description of Duxborough, in the County of Plymouth. Previously it had been called "an association and agreement" (William Bradford), "combination" (Plymouth Colony Records), "solemn contract" (Thomas Prince, 1738), and "the covenant" (Rev. Charles Turner, 1774).
