Chandler Doty
Who: Original settlers.
What: A constitution for the new settlement.
When: November 11, 1620
Where: Aboard the Mayflower.
Why: The original settlers needed a form of law or a system to govern them until they could receive formal permission from the Council of New England. They had to wait for permission because they did not land in the area they intended to, they were supposed to land in the mouth of the Hudson River, they instead landed outside the bounds of the Virginia Companies area. So it was questionable if the English government controlled them.
