The Mayflower Compact was the agreement in which the Pilgrims agreed to make decisions collectively. This included all males of eighteen year of age and older in the new colonies of what is now the United States. The men signing this contract had fled religious persecution from King James of England and had moved to Leiden (in the Netherlands) temporarily. They stated their allegiance to the Lord in the Mayflower Compact.
