A
Step-by-step explanation:
The Mayflower Compact was drafted upon arrival in the New World since the Pilgrims had been blown north of Virginia by storms and were no longer under Virginia's jurisdiction.
In order to have better chances of a well-functioning society and to maintain civil law and order in the new and practically independent colony, the people of the Mayflower created the Mayflower Compact to grant themselves self-governance.
