Introduction to the Mayflower Compact
The Mayflower Compact was a legal agreement signed by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower in 1620. It was created as a way to establish order and cooperation among the settlers, who were outside the jurisdiction of any established government.
Source A: Excerpt from the Mayflower Compact
'In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, ... do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic, for our better ordering and preservation ... and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices ... for the general good of the colony.'
