The start of representative government in the English colonies can be traced back to the establishment of the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1619. This was the first legislative assembly in the American colonies, where elected representatives made decisions and passed laws on behalf of the colonists. It served as a model for other colonies in establishing their own representative institutions.
