Adult male colonists organized the government in the Plymouth and Massachusetts bay colonies.
The Pilgrims and other settlers arrived at Plymouth and Massachusetts in the early 17th century. Due to the threat of rebellion and dissension within their ranks, adult male colonists signed the Mayflower Compact in 1620 to organize a temporary government with a set of laws to govern themselves.
The Mayflower Compact's significance lay in that it represented the first document that established a self-government system in the New World. It was an early attempt to establish democracy, and influenced future events including the founding of the United States of America.
