24、American history, Americans have been greatly influenced by the English idea that both their rulers and their people should be under the rule of law. This way of thinking was applied to the American colonies from the time of the very first permanent English colony. A group of English businessmen for

25、med a company called the Virginia Company, with the purpose of getting raw materials from the land of America. The English king gave the company a charter, or a statement of permission, allowing them to set up colonies to carry out their business. Their colonies were permitted to create some form of

26、 self-government, as long as they made no laws against the laws of England.The first colony established by the Virginia Company was the town of Jamestown, in 1607, named in honour of James, the king of England.

The Pilgrims were worried because they had no authority from the king to settle in that area; they were strong Christians who belie

31、ved they must obey their authorities as far as possible. But with the winter coming, there was no way to travel south and settle in the correct area, and with no way of communication, they could not ask permission of the king or the Virginia Company. Therefore, the 41 men on the ship gathered together to write an agreement, making it clear that they intended to set up an orderly form of government and that the
