Mayflower Compact


November 21st: On this day in 1620, 41 male passengers on the Mayflower, prior to landing at Plymouth, Massachusetts, signed the Mayflower Compact, by which they agreed to abide by the laws of the new government they would establish. This was, of course, long before the separation of church and state. Some of the laws in the early American Colony were based in Mosaic Law (from the Bible). If you have not read the compact; it is an interesting part of history, if you have read it what do you think?
