The Mayflower Compact is a document signed before the British ship Mayflower landed at Plymouth in 1620. It was the first framework of government created and enacted in the territory of what is now the United States of America. Passengers were out of charter coverage due to ship rerouting. To quell conflict and maintain unity, the Pilgrim leaders drafted the Mayflower Accord before they landed.
This brief document bound its signatories to a political body for the purpose of forming a government and to obey all laws and regulations that would later be enacted "in the general interest of the colony." The Mayflower Compact was not a constitution, but an adaptation of the Puritan ecclesiastical confederation to civil circumstances.
