Answer:

The Mayflower Compact.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mayflower Compact is a document signed on November 11, 1620 in which the Pilgrim Fathers negotiated with the Virginia Company to provide them with an internal self-government.

This document became the first normative source of American constitutionalism, and also became a clear confirmation of the rather independent attitude of the colonists, who did not want to obey external regulations. Its characteristic feature is the strong influence of religious puritanical morality.
