Answer:

The signers of the Mayflower Compact, the Pilgrims, planed to make decisions for their colony through the creation of laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices for the general good of the colony

Explanation:

The Mayflower Compact was a short document that the Pilgrims (the first English settlers) wrote when they found themselves out of Virginia's jurisdiction. They actually intended to arrive in northern Virginia but they ended up landing in Massachusetts, near Cape Cod. When they realized, they created the Mayflower Compact to create a set of temporary rules that reaffirmed their loyalty to the British Crown and the Christian faith and that established a civil body for their “ better ordering and preservation” and to make decisions for the colony.

They planed to make decisions for the colony through the creation of laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions and offices for the general good of the colony, to which they promised “all due submission and obedience.”
