They were both intended to create a government for the common good. The Mayflower Compact was the first governing document written by Pilgrims on their way to the United States from England. This stated that they had the liberty to control their settlement without the King of England's rule, which they opposed to. The Iroquois Constitution was an oral document written on native artifacts, banding together the Iroquois Confederacy. Both were objectives to band groups of people together for the common good and for a good common use of governance.
