agreed to govern their colony together for the common good
Explanation:
Mayflower Compact was the first government system on the soil of the territory which is now called by the name theUnited States of America. The English ship Mayflower was set to land in Northern Virginia but due to climatic conditions ended up anchoring in Massachusetts, which lied outside the jurisdiction of The Virginia Company. For the benefit of their new settlement, the Mayflower Compact established laws for the settlers that would form a new community and come together to accomplish it. Knowing life without laws could prove disastrous, the Mayflower Compact was established by colonist leaders to ensure a working social system prevailed.
