Mayflower Compact

Plymouth

These laws would be decided by the majority rule if this group.

It because of racism practice in taxation system.

American Colonists had no representation in Parliament.

law and that you must work to get stuff and not be lazy

No, Linda Ingham the answer is NOOO

In Britain, where the Pilgrims came from, and most other places in Europe, people were subject to a King and to the lords and officials he appointed. Even where a Parliament existed, as in Britain, very few people were entitled to vote for representatives, and the King still had great power. In some areas, groups might be ruled by a clan chief who was the strongest warrior - but always, the people were ruled by others. The Mayflower Compact is the earliest known instance in which the members of a group agreed that the best way for their community to survive was for ALL the men in the group to agree jointly upon their own rules for the community and to obey those rules were even if they had originally voted against them. This was a true democracy, the first ever established in the American colonies by Europeans. It was a revolutionary idea that people could and should govern themselves.

Magna Carta was first, in 1215. The mayflowe compact happened several hundred years later in 1620.

The Mayflower was the ship that transported the Pilgrims to the New World. The mayflower was a popular flower in England. Some historians believe a mayflower was carved on the Mayflower's stern.

It is an enlightened document. The reason for this is because it is based off of philosophies which came from The Enlightenment period.

It identified and focused on principles and issues that would unify the various colonial groups.

When you read the Mayflower Compact and the PreAmble to the Constitution, you can see some similarities - not in the wording, but in the intent.

Mayflower Compact

For our better ordering

Preservation and furtherance of colony

Just and equal laws,ordinances,acts,

constitutions, and offices ...as shall be

thought most meet ..the general good of the colony

we all commit and submit to these and obey them

Preamble:

Forming a more perfect union - order

Insure domestic tranquility - preservation, common defense

Establish justice - laws for the good of all

Promote the welfare of all people

Secure liberty to ourselves and offspring - we all commit to uphold, obey and support this Constitution

These are some of the obvious points.

Are you referring to John Howland?

Constitution is more important

The mayflower compact was the first document written by the pilgrims on their voyage to the new world. It was indeed a self-government contract and was in the New England Colonies.

No Presidents signed the compact as it was written 168 years BEFORE the first US president

The Pilgrims made the Mayflower Compact and all the men had to sign it.

In short "Yes"; Quote from:

http://www.saveamericastreasures.org/profiles/charterfree.htm

"Placed in the center of the grand 75-foot high domed semi-circular Rotunda, the Charters are currently displayed in a raised marble case, flanked by two 35-foot murals depicting the presentation of the Declaration of Independence to John Hancock, president of the Continental Congress, on the left; and James Madison presenting George Washington with the final draft of the U.S. Constitution, on the right. The Declaration is mounted vertically on the wall above the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Each night the Charters are lowered twenty feet into a steel and reinforced concrete vault beneath the display area. Before opening the Rotunda each morning, the documents are mechanically raised into the marble display cases. The two pages not on display (the two middle pages of the Constitution) are stored in the vault and are not on view to the public. George Washington's transmittal page for the Constitution, which is written on parchment, is also stored in the vault."

English Bill Of Rights

The Declaration of Independence and the speech of Tecumseh.

In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was drafted on hemp paper.

The UK relatively left the colonies to themselves. But once they saw that the colonies were prospering and actually doing better than the homeland, they got more involved, mainly by imposing taxes on the colonists. This angered the colonists and this is the main reason for the Revolutionary War and American independence.

the colonist used the basic principles of the may flower compact in which was a direct form of government when they went to america for the king. the fact the colonist still used this form as a way to run country kind of pissed off the king a little ha.

The American Declaration of Independence has a number of features (or, aspects) of significance. Perhaps most significant is its clear and bold claim that all government on Earth operates, when operating justly, by the consent of the governed; that is, those who are governed are fundamentally responsible for their own governance, however that governance may actually be administered.

some kind of religion that like Roanoke and they are settlers
