摘　　要：《五月花号公约》是美国第一份政治契约性文件。它倡导政府基于被管理者同意而设,并且将依法而治。《五月花号公约》对殖民地早期美国乡镇建设及发展影响深远,是美国政治思想的泉源。The May Flower Compact is,in a way,described as America's first constitution in the belief that government is a form of covenant,and that for government to be legitimate,it must derive from the consent of the governed.The compact established government in early colonial American towns by creating a 'civil body politics' whose purpose was to frame just and equal laws for the general good of the colony.The compact remained the basis of government in Plymouth for years,and all later governments in the colony developed out of the compact.
