In England you would be punished for certain religious beliefs. They named it Plymouth based on the pot city in England. The pilgrims believed they were not bound by the rules of the Virginia Company. however, they needed rules of some sort so 41 adult men created the mayflower compact this was to be used for just and equal laws. office holders would be elected by the colony's adult males.
