The House of Burgesses made the laws, with the approval of the Colonial Governor, who were appointed by the King of England. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were members of the House of Burgesses and exerted influence over other members. The local government in Colonial Virginia is believed to be more democratic than many other colonial governments in America by Historians. The Representatives serving in the Virginia House of Burgesses were elected by a majority vote of the tax-paying Virginia land-owners.There are many biographies of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson available that contain Virginia history and are very interesting.
