The Mayflower Compact was first suggested in November 1620, when the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower realized they had landed outside the jurisdiction of the Virginia Company’s charter. Faced with the need for a governing framework to maintain order and unity among the settlers, they drafted the compact as a social contract. It established a form of self-governance and emphasized the principles of majority rule, laying an important foundation for democratic governance in America.
well the settlers wanted it, but it seemed to be a necessity too. sorry that doesn't seem to help much.

The signing of the Mayflower Compact occurred before the passengers disembarked from the Mayflower in November 1620. This agreement was created to establish a basic form of government and social order for the new colony in Plymouth, as they recognized the need for cooperation and unity among the settlers. The Compact marked an important step in the development of self-governance in what would later become the United States.
The passengers on the Mayflower were compelled to write and sign the Mayflower Compact due to their arrival in the New World at a site outside the jurisdiction of the Virginia Company, which had granted them their charter. This unexpected situation created uncertainty about governance and order among the settlers. Additionally, the presence of differing religious beliefs among the passengers highlighted the need for a cooperative framework to ensure unity and stability. The Compact established a form of self-government, allowing them to create laws and promote the common good.
