Detailed explanation-1: -The Mayflower Compact was a set of rules for self-governance established by the English settlers who traveled to the New World on the Mayflower.
Detailed explanation-2: -The 1620 agreement (first called the Mayflower Compact in 1793) was a legal instrument that bound the Pilgrims together when they arrived in New England.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Mayflower Compact, originally titled Agreement Between the Settlers of New Plymouth, was the first governing document of Plymouth Colony. It was written by the men aboard the Mayflower, consisting of Separatist Puritans, adventurers, and tradesmen.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Mayflower Compact-as it is known today-was signed by those 41 “true” Pilgrims on 11 November, 1620, and became the first governing document of Plymouth Colony.
Detailed explanation-5: -The rest of the Mayflower Compact is very short. It simply bound the signers into a “Civil Body Politic” for the purpose of passing “just and equal Laws . . . for the general good of the Colony.” But those few words expressed the idea of self-government for the first time in the New World.
