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.
The Mayflower Compact that the Pilgrims signed in 1620 is the first example of many colonial plans for self government. The Pilgrim leaders knew they needed rules to govern themselves if they were going to survive the new colony they were about to form. The Mayflower Compact was based on majority rule and the Pilgrims even allowed those who were not Pilgrims to take part in the process. They agreed to choose their leaders and make their own laws which they would agree to follow.
