A charter is a grant of authority (permission) from the king that they, the colonists, are allowed to start a colony.
They wrote a compact among themselves. It was called the Mayflower compact.
The Mayflower Compact protected the Pilgrims' rights. Because they landed outside the limits of the Virginia Company, their charter did not apply. For the sake of order the men aboard the Mayflower signed an agreement. In it they vowed to obey laws agreed upon for the good of the colony. The Mayflower Compact helped establish the idea of self-government and majority rule.

The Mayflower Compact
The Mayflower Charter, also known as the Mayflower Compact, was a foundational document signed in 1620 by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower. It established a framework for self-governance and social order among the settlers in the New World, emphasizing mutual cooperation and consent of the governed. This agreement is often regarded as a significant step toward democratic governance in America, as it laid the groundwork for future legal and political structures. The compact was a response to the lack of a legal charter for their settlement in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
