Why did the people on the Mayflower sign the Mayflower Compact?
Of the 102 passengers aboard, only about 52 of them were actually "pilgrims" from Leiden who were leaving to the New World in hopes of religious freedom. The other half consisted of passengers of varying beliefs and ethics. It was decided that the signing of the Mayflower Compact would ease tensions and help colonists work together. One of the most important provisions of the Mayflower Compact was that a governor would be democratically elected, unlike the way it was done in either England's monarchy or Leiden's church congregation. Although it was brief and rather unconventional, the democratic nature of the document combined with the fact that it was the first such document signed in America makes the Mayflower Compact one of the important documents in U.S. history. It is sometimes compared to the Declaration of Independence and considered one of its inspirations.
Was the signing of the Mayflower Compact an example of direct democracy or indirect democracy?
The Mayflower compact would be a better example of Direct Democracy then Indirect Democracy. This is because the agreement was ment so that the British Gov could not easily control them as everyone would have a say in it and decide wether it was wise to let the Britsh Gov interfere. An Indirect demo would be where citizens would tell their elected official their opinions and he would report to the king. Our US gov is a good example of Indirect democracy though it also shares a few beliefs with Direct Democracy.
