Explanation:

Hello!

In 1620, the Plymouth Colony was founded. It was located in the current city of Plymouth, Massachusetts.

The founders of the colony were English settlers who fled of the religious persecutions they suffered in England. Currently, they are known as "pilgrim fathers."

Mayflower Compact was written and adopted as the basis of the Plymouth colony's civil government, shortly after the settlers were established. Much of the legal system that was later implemented was based on their religious beliefs.
