the "mayflower" was originally bound for the colony of virginia, financed by the company of merchant adventurers of london. storms forced them to anchor at the hook of cape cod in massachusetts, however, as it was unwise to continue with provisions running short. this inspired some of the non-puritan passengers (whom the puritans referred to as "strangers") to proclaim that they "would use their own liberty; for none had power to command them" since they would not be settling in the agreed-upon virginia territory. to prevent this, the pilgrims determined to establish their own government, while still affirming their allegiance to the crown of england. thus, the mayflower compact was based simultaneously upon a majoritarian model and the settlers' allegiance to the king. it was in essence a social contract in which the settlers consented to follow the community's rules and regulations for the sake of order and survival.
