Religion in Europe

It was not easy for people to practice religion freely in Europe during the 1500s. As you have read, after the Protestant Reformation, Christians in western Europe were divided into Protestants and Roman Catholics. This division led to fierce religious wars. In France, for example, Protestants and Catholics fought each other for nearly 40 years. Thousands upon thousands of people were killed because of their religious beliefs.

Most European rulers believed that they could not maintain order unless everyone followed the ruler's religion. The religion chosen by the ruler was known as the established church. In England, for example, the established church was the Anglican church, or Church of England. In the 1530s, Parliament passed laws making the English monarch the head of the Church of England.

Religion in Europe

In England and other nations, people who did not follow the established religion were often persecuted. Persecution is the mistreatment or punishment of certain people because of their beliefs. Sometimes, members of persecuted groups had to worship secretly. If they were discovered, they might be imprisoned or even executed by being burned at the stake.

A New Pledge to Govern the Colony

Before going ashore, the Pilgrims realized that they would not be settling within the boundaries of Virginia. As a result, the terms of their charter would not apply to their new colony. In that case, who would govern them? The question was important because not all colonists on the Mayflower were Pilgrims. Some of these “strangers,” as the Pilgrims called them, said they were not bound to obey the Pilgrims, “for none had power to command them.”

A New Pledge to Govern the Colony

The PIlgrims joined together to write a framework for governing their colony. On November 11, 1620, the 41 adult male passengers—both Pilgrims and non-Pilgrims—signed the Mayflower Compact. They agreed to make and abide by laws that insured “the general Good of the Colony.”

The Mayflower Compact established an important tradition. In time, they set up a government in which adult male colonists elected a governor and council. Thus, the Mayflower Compact strengthened the English tradition of governing through elected representatives.  This document is an important step in the development of a self-government.
