how did William Bradford and William Brewster try to solve the problem of the pilgrims not being under control of the Virginia companies in their jurisdiction

Dear Student,

Please find the below answer
  • ​​​​​​The pilgrims comprised of merchants, craftsmen, skilled workers, and several young orphans. All were common people. About one-third of them were children.
  • They were people who wanted the freedom to practice their religion as per their choice.
  • They set on a voyage of which William Brewster was also a member. They reached Cape Cod, south of Virginia, and settled there with the consideration that it was out of the reach of Virginia's jurisdiction.
  • The Mayflower Pact was made by William Brewster due to a constant quarrel among the people. They then decided they needed a government of their own which gave birth to political self-government.
  • John Carver was the first leader in this government who after his death was replaced by William Bradford who was elected as their Governor over 30 times between 1621-1656.
  • He helped them establish a proper colony and stabilised their political institutions.
Hope this answers your question.
