The writers and signers of the Mayflower Compact anticipated potential conflicts arising from differing beliefs, governance issues, and social order among the diverse group of Pilgrims and non-Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower. They recognized the need for a unified framework to establish rules and maintain peace in their new settlement, especially given the lack of a formal government. The Compact aimed to prevent dissent and ensure cooperation in the face of challenges presented by the unfamiliar environment and the interactions with Native American populations. Ultimately, it was a foundational step toward self-governance and communal responsibility.

The signers of the Mayflower Compact were all male. The compact was signed in 1620 by the male passengers aboard the Mayflower, primarily composed of Pilgrims and other settlers. Women did not participate in the signing, as societal norms of the time typically restricted political and civic engagement to men.
