mayflower compact
The mayflower compact was signed on November 11, 1620 by 41 of the more than 100 passengers on board.
The Mayflower Compact stated that the Puritans would follow the rules of the government. They didn't arrive where they originally intended so the rules of England did not apply. The Compact was created to assure the half of the ship's passengers who were not Puritans that the government of the colony would be elected, not imposed on them.
