The Mayflower Compact

IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal

Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God, of Great

Britain, France, and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, &c. Having undertaken

for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of

our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the first Colony in the northern Parts of

Virginia; Do by these Presents, solemnly and mutually, in the Presence of God and

one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick,

for our better Ordering and Preservation, and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid:

And by Virtue hereof do enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal Laws,

Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions, and Officers, from time to time, as shall be

thought most meet and convenient for the general Good of the Colony; unto

which we promise all due Submission and Obedience. IN WITNESS whereof we

have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape-­‐Cod the eleventh of November, in

the Reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the

eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-­‐fourth, Anno Domini; 1620.

  1. http://www.northern.edu/marmorsa/newenglandlp.htm
  2. http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/tserve/eighteen/ekeyinfo/legacy.htm Notes-­‐ Protestant Reformation and the rise of Puritanism ( 1517 ), Martin Luther began break from Catholic church; birth of Protestantism
  3. Luther declared the Bible alone was the source of God's word
  4. Faith alone would determine salvation; he denounced authority of Pope a. Puritans were Protestants seeking to reform the Anglican Church by removing its Catholic elements and excluding people who were not committed. b. Separatists : extreme group of Puritans who wanted to break from the Anglican Church altogether– later called Pilgrims. c. First were the Separatists left Britain for Holland for freedom to practice Calvinism.
    1. Later, became unhappy by the "Dutchification" of their children.
    2. Sought opportunity to practice their religion as Englishmen without interference d. Secured rights with Virginia Company to settle within its jurisdiction in Virginia
    3. Pilgrims agreed to work for 7 years in return for the support of the joint stock company which was comprised of non-­‐separatist investors. e. Mayflower landed off New England coast with 102 persons f. Plymouth Bay chosen as settlement site
    4. Plymouth was outside jurisdiction of Virginia Company. Settlers thus became squatters: no legal right to land and no recognized gov’t (thus, never gained charter from the crown) g. Mayflower Compact (an agreement) 1. Purpose: To legitimize Pilgrims’ settlement outside Virginia by creating a secular document recognizing James I as their sovereign and creating a body of all the settlers with power to devise laws and elect leaders. 2. Agreement provided for majority rule among settlers (excluding servants and seamen)—became an important seed of democracy. 3. Adult male settlers assembled to make laws and conduct open-­‐discussion town meetings.
