The Mayflower compact would be a better example of Direct Democracy then Indirect Democracy. This is because the agreement was ment so that the British Gov could not easily control them as everyone would have a say in it and decide wether it was wise to let the Britsh Gov interfere. An Indirect demo would be where citizens would tell their elected official their opinions and he would report to the king. Our US gov is a good example of Indirect democracy though it also shares a few beliefs with Direct Democracy.

The Mayflower Compact is important because of its principle, that a government's authority derives from the consent of the governed. The signers of the Compact stated that the authority to make laws in the colony was also based on the fact that the inhabitants consented to be subject to those laws.

The ideals of the Mayflower Compact can be seen in the writing of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Yes, "[the Mayflower Compact] caused many other things in America to happen." But that is an extremely vague answer. The Mayflower Compact inspired other Colonists to create a better set of laws.
