The group that rode the Mayflower to Plymouth Colony signed an agreement that they would live under laws that they made. This made it a social contract. It was a contract among the parties living there.

While New York was founded by the Dutch 10 years earlier, the people there lived under rules made by an organization in Holland. Some made sense and some did not apply in the particular situation. The people did not have the same relationship with each other.
