"Second sentence of the Mayflower Compact..."

The Mayflower compact is not a founding document of the USA. It's a collectivist document that said each would share in the communities production. It established communal farming and lead to a famine in the first year. Much of it was soon dropped. Private property was then established, and productivity soared.

"The Mayflower compact is not a founding document of the USA"

The Mayflower Compact is a founding document. It is the first governing document produced by our founders.

"It established communal farming and lead to a famine in the first year. Much of it was soon dropped. Private property was then established, and productivity soared."

Irrelevant to the question I answered.
