The pilgrims ( aka the separatists) created the mayflower compact.
The group that set sail on the Mayflower was known as the Pilgrims. They were seeking religious freedom and established the Plymouth Colony in what is now Massachusetts. The Mayflower Compact was created as a governing document for the colony.
The group was called the Pilgrims. They were separatist Puritans who sailed on the Mayflower in 1620 to escape religious persecution in England and establish a colony in what is now modern-day Massachusetts.
The Puritans found Massachusetts in 1620 when a group of Pilgrims seeking religious freedom arrived on the Mayflower and settled in Plymouth. In 1630, a larger group of Puritans founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony, leading to the establishment of Boston and other towns in the region.
Another word for religious group could be "faith community" or "religious organization."
A group of religious people is often referred to as a congregation, parish, assembly, or community.
The Compact was formed to keep the group on the Mayflower together.

The Pilgrims
By now, the entire group who came on the Mayflower has been called "the Pilgrims," however only around thirty of the group were leaving England for religious reasons, so the actual pilgrims were not in the majority.

The Mayflower Compact kept the small group of 102 together and, by viture of their numbers, alive, instead of allowing them to splinter and die off.
Both the Pilgrims and the Mayflower Compact are associated with the founding of Plymouth Colony in 1620. The Pilgrims were the group of English Separatists who settled in Plymouth, and the Mayflower Compact was the agreement they created to establish a form of self-government for their colony. Both are significant in American history as early examples of democratic principles being put into practice.
