11 Nov 1620 Jahr - Mayflower Compact

Beschreibung:

The Mayflower Compact was a foundational document signed by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower before disembarking at Plymouth Rock, establishing a self-governing colony based on majority rule. It is considered a pioneering document of democratic governance in America, as it created a civil society agreed upon by its signatories, who pledged to abide by the laws and regulations it established for the good of the community.
