Yes, I am sure. The Mayflower Compact, signed in 1620 by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower, established a framework for self-governance and pledged the signers to create and abide by laws and ordinances for the good of the colony. It was a significant step in the development of democracy in America, emphasizing consent and collective decision-making.
