About 400 yrs ago the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts
They left England in 1602 on a ship called the Mayflower – a reproduction of the ship can now be seen at Plymouth Harbor
Half of the passengers were Pilgrims searching for religious freedom, the other half, known as “strangers” were looking to settle in Virginia
Democracy Takes Root at Plymouth
![Page 16: Pennsylvania Maine Maryland Delaware Vermont New Hampshire Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut New Jersey New York](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649cfd5503460f949cdd05/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A storm blew the ship off course forcing the passengers to land in New England
With no government established in New England, the Pilgrims had a problem. How did they solve
their problem?

Problem Solved!!To solve their problem, the
Pilgrims came up with the Mayflower Compact – their agreement to set up a government that would make laws and rules for the benefit of everyone
Every man signed the compact and a governor was elected
Because of this Americans today believe that leaders and laws should be elected and created by the people
