Answer:

an early form of self-government in Plymouth

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mayflower Compact, signed by 41 English colonists on the ship Mayflower on November 11, 1620, was the first written framework of government established. The compact was made to prevent disagreements/differences of opinion amongst Puritans and non-separatist Pilgrims.
