The Mayflower Compact, signed in 1620 by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower, pretended to establish a framework for self-governance in the New World. It aimed to create a civil body politic, ensuring that decisions would be made collectively for the good of the colony. By doing so, it sought to legitimize their settlement and maintain order, despite the absence of a legal charter from the Crown. This agreement laid the groundwork for future democratic governance in America.
