JOHN ADAMS: “What do we mean by the Revolution? The War? That was no part of the Revolution. It was only an effect and consequence of it. The Revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effect-ed, from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen years before a drop of blood was drawn at Lexington. “

MAYFLOWER COMPACT AMERICA’S FIRST CONSTITUTION

“Before they got off the boat, one of their critical elements that they wanted to do was to organize themselves around a docu-ment, a governing document, if you will...The Mayflower Com-pact was created in order for them to know who was in charge, know how to deal with indiscretions and problems, very much like the forerunner to our Bill of Rights, our Constitution. All of those documents created a compact, a promise, a trust.” said Da-vid Weidner, Exec. Dir., Pilgrim Monument and Museum, Prov-incetown, MASource: WCAI www.capeandislands.org “The Pilgrims and the Mayflower Compact” By Brian Morris • Jul 2, 2018
