The Mayflower Compact was a governing document signed in 1620 by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower, who landed in what is now Massachusetts. It established a rudimentary form of self-government and a social contract among the settlers, agreeing to work together for the common good and to create laws for their new community. This compact is often cited as a foundational moment in the development of democratic governance in America.
