The Mayflower Compact was really important, because they were the fist laws that were set by Pilgrims and without the laws, there would've been lot's of fighting and cruel people who would've wanted their own ways. Compact also helped to make sure that things were done properly, especially the rules that had to be followed. I'm almost positive that one of the rules was that about labor and the hard work, that would've had to be done each day, to help the Pilgrims survive. The other point of the Compact was to work together as a group, and to be helpful around, basically being useful around the yard, and the housing, food, and all the things that were used for survival, like hunting skills.
One the important rules was to worship. Now a days I think that it is important to do some kind of worship, especially when you truly are taking your faith seriously. As we already know that the Pilgrims were very religious people and they left from their own place, so that they could have some freedom of worship in the God they believed in. I know this, we in this generation truly do not take our faith seriously, even tough we talk about how religious we are. I believe that everyone wants to have their own freedom, and especially space. That is also another reason why the Pilgrims moved.
