anonymous · Answer

its a social contract. "The agreement first acknowledged the colonists' loyalty to King James I, and then bound them in a "civil Body Politick" for the purpose of forming just laws for the entire community. This document established a social contract within the community and formed a government based upon the consent of the governed. " http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h524.html
