Answer: prevent decisions based on the pressures of maintaining elected office
Explanation: The Supreme court is the judicial branch of the federal government and the highest court in the country. It has jurisdiction over all federal & state courts. The
main purpose of the Supreme court is to interpret the law and defend the Constitution. Often they must hear the cases of lower federal courts and ensure that laws follow the Constitution.
Supreme Court justices have life tenure, which means that they serve until they die, resign or retire, unless they are impeached and removed from office by the Senate for wrongful behaviour.

Explanation:
The Mayflower Compact of 1620:
was signed by men from one of the first groups of English colonists who came to America
set up a government and the first written laws for the new settlers arriving at Plymouth Colony (now the state of Massachusetts)
created laws for the "general good" (common good) of the settlement
included the idea of "will of the majority," where decisions are made based on what the majority of people agree to do
included the idea of the social contract where the settlers consented to follow the Compact's rules for the sake of the survival of the new colony
influenced Americans to think that British policies and laws harmed instead of supported the common good
influenced Americans to think that King George III, in their own time, was breaking the social contract where he was bound to protect their rights and provide security
was the foundation of the U.S. Constitution according to John Adams and other Founding Fathers
Big Idea: The Mayflower Compact is an example of self-government. The people would determine laws and government for themselves rather than an outside government doing it for them.
