The Mayflower Compact is a formal agreement by the Pilgrims to abide by "just and equal laws" drafted by leaders of their own choosing. It was signed by 41 adult male passengers aboard the ship Mayflower on November 11, 1620, before they disembarked at Plymouth Colony. The compact was a foundational document for self-governance and helped establish systematic order among the Pilgrims in their new settlement.
