Reply:Basically, Magna Carta and Mayflower Compact are similar since both provides for the rights of the people. The only difference might be the application, Magna Carta was used by many governments while the Mayflower Compact was only used by the Pilgrims in the early days of America.
Reply:The Mayflower Compact established one of the most fundamental principles derived from a Judeo-Christian view of government. It has set the American experience apart from all others. Covenanting together to form a civil body and then establishing written constitutions to govern that civil body according to higher law, was indeed a substantial step toward securing liberty or the general good of the colony.



The Magna Carta document was written in 1215 and expressed and embodied certain liberties. These liberties were to be respected by the King. The Magna Carta served as a written document which even the King was bound to obey. He had no legitimate authority to rule in an arbitrary manner. Magna Carta emphasized the limits on the power of government, and secured individual rights.
