The Pilgrims arrived in North America on November 11, 1620, aboard the Mayflower. Before disembarking, they drafted the Mayflower Compact on November 11, 1620, as a foundational document to establish self-governance and maintain order among the settlers. This compact was significant as it represented an early form of social contract and democratic governance in the New World.
The Pilgrims wrote the Mayflower Compact in 1620 to establish a framework for self-governance in their new settlement. This document outlined the principles of majority rule and collective decision-making, ensuring that all adult males would have a say in the governance of their community. By signing the Compact, the Pilgrims committed themselves to work together for the common good and to create just laws for their society. This foundational document is often considered a precursor to later democratic governance in America.
They were taught how to read,write,and how to read the bible.

I believe that William Bradford is significant to American History, because he is one of the only settlers from the Mayflower to write about colonizing Plymouth. Not only that but when he remarried his friends threw a “marriage feast” with Indians which may have started Thanksgiving.

They wanted a format for government.
The pilgrims did not necessarily have to make the Mayflower Compact, but decided to make it to have some type of order in the desolate land they were entering. The Mayflower compact allowed for self government and more order.by being homosexual an being white
They needed a form of government and had to describe how that government would work.
No, the passengers on the mayflower were Puritans, not Quakers.

The fact that many of the Pilgrims could read and write is evidence of their education. Additionally, their ability to create legal documents, such as the Mayflower Compact, further supports the inference that they were educated individuals.
They needed to establish a form of government so there would be order in the new colony and so that they had some guidelines to support good values and so on.

The Pilgrims had been blown off course and arrived miles north of Virginia where they were heading. To keep order, they wrote and signed a comapct agreeing to make an obey laws when they settled.
