Yes, the Mayflower Compact was named after the ship Mayflower, which carried the Pilgrims to America in 1620. The compact was a social contract established by the passengers aboard the ship to create a civil government and ensure cooperation among the settlers in the New World. It is considered a foundational document for self-governance in America.
