Mayflower Compact??

I don't remember much about the mayflower compact, so I could really use some help on this one. Thanks!!!





2) What different reasons might people have had for sailing to America with the Pilgrims? List as many as you can think of.





3) Why do you think the Pilgrim leaders thought they needed something like the Maflower Compact?





4) If you had been on board the Mayflower, would you have signed the Compact? Why or why not?





5) What significance did the Mayflower Compact have for American government?





Thanks in advance for any help.


God Bless

Mayflower Compact??
What do you mean you don't remember much? I don't think you ever knew anything about it to begin with... I learned about the Mayflower Compact IN THE THIRD GRADE.





Besides that, this sting is HISTORY... it is not Homework done while you wait... that is down the hall... third door on the right.





If you really want to know about it.. then you can giggle it just as easy as I can.
Reply:The Pilgrims lied to the non-Pilgrims on board the Mayflower, who thought they were paying for passage to Jamestown, Virginia.





When the non-Pilgrims onboard figured out they were about to land far to the north of Virginia, the Pilgrims offered them the "Mayflower Compact" as a guarantee they wouldn't be subjected to a harsh theocratic regime. The non-Pilgrims accepted because they really didn't have much choice, unless they were prepared to take control of the ship by force, which was called "mutiny" and was a hanging offense.
