The Mayflower Compact ??

The Mayflower Compact is often cited as the first constitution in what became the United States. Give an example of a democratic point within the Mayflower Compact. Give an example of a non-democratic point of the Mayflower Compact.

The Mayflower Compact ??
This is a quote from the compact:


..."Haveing undertaken, for the glorie of god, and advancemente of the Christian faith and honour of our king %26amp; countrie, a voyage to plant the first colonie in the Northerne parts of Virginia.."





This quote shows that they expect everyone to be of one religion (Christianity) and nothing else, and also are in favor of the King. So, if you did not meat these two criteria, you wouldn't be part of the compact, which is against what a democracy is, a government or group that lets everyone, regardless of their beliefs join, I think.


Hope it helps!!!
Reply:Ahh, yes. The Mayflower Compact was the first car in the Americas. The car of choice for the piligrims of England. The Spaniards prefered the mustang which was told by different colors in that time.
