The compat introduced the principle of the Social Contract.
The Mayflower Compact, signed in 1620 by Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower, was an agreement establishing a basic form of self-governance and a social contract for the Plymouth Colony. In contrast, the Fundamental Orders of 1638-1639 were a more detailed and formal constitution for the Connecticut Colony, outlining a structured government with a framework for representation and authority. While the Mayflower Compact emphasized unity and cooperation among settlers, the Fundamental Orders provided a more systematic approach to governance, reflecting the growing complexity of the colony's political needs.

The Mayflower Compact was written when in 1620 the settlers aboard the Mayflower landed north of their original destination in Virginia. The Mayflower Compact was designed to provide a framework of government for Plymouth in the absence Virginian authority. It was significant because it is established the principle of government by the consent of the governed in the new world. The Fundamental Orders Of Connecticut, adopted in 1639, was also an early document of self-governance in the New World.
