The first Puritan colony, established in 1620 at Plymouth, was governed by a communal agreement known as the Mayflower Compact. This document, signed by the male passengers aboard the Mayflower, established a form of self-governance based on majority rule and mutual consent. The colony's leadership was typically composed of elected officials who were often church members, reflecting the Puritan emphasis on a community guided by religious principles. This governance structure laid the foundation for future democratic practices in America.
