Answer:
Government for the common good: Mayflower Compact
Explanation:
The Mayflower Compact was a short document that the Pilgrims (the first English settlers) wrote when they ended up landing in Massachusetts, near Cape Cod, instead of landing in northern Virginia, as planned. When they realized they were out of Virginia's jurisdiction, cut off from any government, they created the Mayflower Compact, a set of temporary rules to reaffirm their loyalty to the British Crown and the Christian faith, establish a civil body for their “better ordering and preservation” and to make “just and equal” decisions for the common good of the colony. The document indeed established a model for political self-government to prevent conflicts among the men and to make rules for the general good of the people.
