The English Separatists who signed the Mayflower Compact were a group of Puritans seeking religious freedom from the Church of England. In 1620, they traveled aboard the Mayflower and established a settlement in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The Compact was a foundational document that established a self-governing colony based on majority rule, reflecting their commitment to democratic principles and community cooperation. It is often regarded as one of the earliest forms of social contract in American history.
