In the Mayflower Compact, all signers agreed to work to select a leader and form their own government. It prefigures the later colonists' assertion of their liberty from Great Britain and their ability to govern themselves, and shows the American idea of political equality and involvement.

Both the Pilgrims and the Mayflower Compact are associated with the founding of Plymouth Colony in 1620. The Pilgrims were the group of English Separatists who settled in Plymouth, and the Mayflower Compact was the agreement they created to establish a form of self-government for their colony. Both are significant in American history as early examples of democratic principles being put into practice.
