Among the selections from Of Plymouth Plantation,

"[The Remainder of the Anno 1620]" deserves special
attention. Bradford writes that the document was
"occasioned partly by the discontented and mutinous
speeches that some of the strangers [non- Puritans
aboard the Mayflower] amongst them had let fall from
them in the ship."
• How does what Bradford calls "the first foundation of
their government in this place" establish a Puritan
community from the beginning as one that excludes
"strangers"?
• What evidence is in the compact that even before
landing the Puritans defined themselves as an elect
group? And what implicit effect does writing and signing
the Mayflower Compact have? Putting their first
agreement into written form was an act of major
significance for the Puritans, who believed in the Bible's
literal truth and authority. Written words, from the
beginning of American culture, carry the associative
power of God's word.
• What does the writing of the Mayflower Compact
indicate about the

• William Bradford has been called "one of history's
greatest men." Do you agree or disagree? Why or why
not?
