The Mayflower Compact was a document signed in 1620 by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower, establishing a self-governing agreement for their new settlement in Plymouth. It outlined a framework for governance based on majority rule and the consent of the governed, emphasizing the importance of community and cooperation among the settlers. This compact is often regarded as a foundational step towards democratic governance in America.
