Answer: Mayflower Compact
Explanation:
When the 102 people onboard the Mayflower landed in Massachusetts instead of Virginia to colonize the area, dissent arose and in order to quell this dissent and establish a united colony, 41 males aboard the ship signed the Mayflower Compact.
This was a self-governing document that included guidelines as to how the colonists were to act in their new colony. Provisions such as loyalty to the English Crown were included.
