The signing of the Mayflower Compact occurred before the passengers disembarked from the Mayflower in November 1620. This agreement was created to establish a basic form of government and social order for the new colony in Plymouth, as they recognized the need for cooperation and unity among the settlers. The Compact marked an important step in the development of self-governance in what would later become the United States.
The first written self government document in the Americas was the Mayflower Compact. It was an agreement between the Pilgrims to govern their new colony in 1620.
