The Mayflower Compact was written to establish a framework of government and order for the Plymouth Colony. The Pilgrims who signed the Compact recognized the need for a formal agreement to ensure fair and equal treatment among themselves and to establish laws for the common good of the colony. It represented an important step towards self-governance in the New World.
