- W2320797454 abstract "W X T RITING more than a century ago, George Bancroft described signing of Mayflower Compact by Pilgrims as the birth of popular constitutional liberty. cabin of Mayflower, he continued, recovered its rights and instituted government on basis of 'equal laws' for 'the general good.' 1 Bancroft's exuberance has bothered later historians who have questioned whether humanity recovered its rights, whether in fact signing of Compact in autumn of i620 instituted even limited democracy at Plymouth. George Willison, for one, whose history of Plymouth Colony a best seller in I940's thought not. Believing that Compact was conceived as an instrument to maintain status quo, Willison went on to argue that during seventeenth century opportunities to participate in political life of colony were limited. In short, Plymouth undemocratic.2 Must we then indict Bancroft for allowing his pride in Jacksonian America to influence his historical perspective? To some extent perhaps. Yet, an examination of sparse records which have survived ravages of three centuries suggests that Bancroft may have been closer to truth than we have recently supposed; that Pilgrims, whatever their intent, did in fact establish a democratic form of government in i620. On other hand, such an examination also suggests that Bancroft's belief that democracy grew and thrived in American climate is open to question. In seventeenth-century Plymouth, trend seems to have been away from, rather than towards, political democracy." @default.
