No one. That was the problem that there wasn't a foundation for government, but a loose confederation of states.

The House of Delegates is a state legislative body found in certain U.S. states, such as Maryland and Virginia. It is not a federal entity; rather, it functions as part of the state government, where delegates are elected to represent the interests of their constituents. Each state's House of Delegates operates independently within its own legislative framework.
