(4 points)

Answer 1

The Pilgrims created a government because they landed outside their charter and needed rules for everyone. On the Mayflower they agreed to a compact that set laws, leaders, and how decisions would be made. This government mattered because it kept order, helped them survive, and started self-government in America.
