Um...... what effect did the MAYFLOWER COMPACT have on the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE ????
The Mayflower Compact was the predecessor to the U.S Constitution, not the Declaration of Independence.
Reply:I think the most obvious effect that the Mayflower Compact had on the Declaration of Independence was that without the Compact, which acknowledged the sovereignty of the British Crown, there would have been no need to declare independence 150 years later.





As far as similarities to the Constitution, I don't see them. The Constitution created a limited government, with no authority over it within those limitations. The Compact created a government without limitations other than "majority rules", with another unlimited government (the Crown) above it. Near as I can see, they could have just stayed in England and had all that.
Reply:Without one you don't have the other!
Reply:Is this a serious question? Google it bro. That's the dumbest question no offence, like that guy said, you can't have one without the other.





It influenced the creation of the Declaration of Independence.
