Why didn't the settlers of the earlier British colony of Jamestown create a similar document?
The settlers of Jamestown, established in 1607, did not create a formal governing document like the Mayflower Compact, primarily because they were operating under the authority of the Virginia Company, which had already established a charter that outlined governance. Additionally, the focus was on survival and economic gain rather than self-governance, as many settlers were preoccupied with finding gold and securing resources. The lack of a unified purpose among the diverse group of settlers also contributed to the absence of a cooperative governing agreement.
