Answer:

The Mayflower Compact was needed to institute a government with just and equal laws.

Explanation:

The Mayflower Compact was a document signed on November 11, 1620, in which the Pilgrim Fathers (English religious dissidents who arrived in North America on the Mayflower barge) agreed with the Virginia company to provide them with internal self-government.

Upon arrival in North America, a conflict arose among the English Puritans. Due to an error in the ship’s course, the colonists were north of the piece of land that the company allocated to them. Therefore, many of them believed that the contract with the Virginia company had lost force. As a result of negotiations on November 11, 1620, 41 people, heads of all families who arrived in America, signed a written agreement on board of the Mayflower. In this document, they expressed their intention to establish their own colony and pledged to obey the laws.

This document became the first regulatory source of American constitutionalism, and also became a clear confirmation of the fairly independent attitude of the colonists who did not want to obey external charters.

Which case allowed the supreme court to claim the power of judicial review (the authority to declare a law unconstitutional?)
lions [1.4K]
Two landmark decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court served to confirm the inferred constitutional authority for judicial review in the United States: In 1796, Hylton v. United States was the first case decided by the Supreme Court involving a direct challenge to the constitutionality of an act of Congress, the Carriage Act of 1794 which imposed a "carriage tax".[2] The Court engaged in the process of judicial review by examining the plaintiff's claim that the carriage tax was unconstitutional. After review, the Supreme Court decided the Carriage Act was not unconstitutional. In 1803, Marbury v. Madison[3] was the first Supreme Court case where the Court asserted its authority for judicial review to strike down a law as unconstitutional. At the end of his opinion in this decision,[4] Chief Justice John Marshall maintained that the Supreme Court's responsibility to overturn unconstitutional legislation was a necessary consequence of their sworn oath of office to uphold the Constitution as instructed in Article Six of the Constitution.
