The Constitution
The Mayflower Compact was a written agreement among the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower ship in 1620 before they landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts. It established a form of government based on majority rule and was an important early step in the development of self-government in America.
"The Mayflower Compact, signed by 41 English colonists on the ship Mayflower on November 11, 1620, was the first written framework of government established in what is now the United States. The compact was drafted to prevent disagreements/differences of opinion amongst Puritans and non-separatist Pilgrims who had landed at Plymouth a few days earlier." (from History.com)No. It wasn't a pledge, but a framework for the early government.
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.
