How did the mayflower compact limit democracy??????????????

Ask the folks in the history section or read the Mayflower Compact and figure it out for yourself. I don't really recall what the Mayflower Compact said.

How did the mayflower compact limit democracy??????????????
From the opening of the Compact.





Quote "In ye name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwriten, ye loyall subjects of our dread soveraigne Lord King James by ye grace of God, of Great Britaine, Franc, %26amp; Ireland king, defender of ye faith,"


End Quote





Seems that this was just another pledge to remain loyal to a monarchy across the ocean. Little more than a contract to agree to rules set down by the leadership of the colony.
