How did the Mayflower compact and the house of burgesses influence the founders and writing the US Constitution?

The Mayflower Compact and the House of Burgesses established early forms of self-governance and democratic principles in colonial America. The Mayflower Compact introduced the idea of a social contract and collective decision-making among settlers, while the House of Burgesses represented the first elected legislature in the New World, emphasizing representative government. These frameworks influenced the Founding Fathers by demonstrating the importance of consent and representation, which ultimately shaped the principles of democracy and governance embedded in the U.S. Constitution. Together, they laid the groundwork for a system that prioritized individual rights and the rule of law.
