<span>The Mayflower Compact was the first governing document of Plymouth Colony. It was drafted by the separatist pilgrims who crossed the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower. It was signed on November 11, 1620 in what is now Provincetown Harbor near Cape Cod. Having settled at Plymouth (thus named by Captain John Smith earlier), the pilgrims recognized that their land was outside the chartered territory of the London Company. Thus, the Mayflower Compact was signed to establish a civil government based upon a majoritarian model and to proclaim the settlers' allegiance to the king. The compact was referred to by John Adams as the foundation of the Constitution of the United States[citation needed], but he was speaking figuratively, not literally.</span>

How did issues of race and gender impact the admission of western states into the union?
Semmy [17]
When it comes to race it usually delayed the admissions of the states into the Union. For example the states with majority population consisting of Mexicans and Native Americans were not allowed into the Union until the Congress opened those lands for white settlers. The issue of gender impacted the admissions less, the difference was in the level of commitment to the women's rights.
