The term "covenant under God to establish a civil body politic" often refers to the Mayflower Compact, signed in 1620 by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower. This document established a framework for self-governance in the New World, reflecting their commitment to create a civil society based on mutual consent and responsibility. It emphasized the Pilgrims' intent to govern themselves while acknowledging their dependence on divine guidance.
