what is the first part of the document called?
The document that described the first government of the United States of America was called the Articles of Confederation. It was adopted in 1781 and established a weak central government with limited powers, mainly to manage the Revolutionary War and maintain unity among the states. However, its deficiencies eventually led to the creation of the Constitution in 1787.
The first document which formally looks like what is now thought of as a "constitution" is the original United States Constitution. This is the first real document which explicitly (and in great detail) lays out how a country's government is to actual work. In terms of a more basic declaration of the purpose and function of government, the Magna Carta is generally considered to be the first such document.
The first written document that provided self government for the pilgrims was The Mayflower Compact.
