Delegate.
Parliament, the House of Burgesses, and the New York Assembly are all examples of representative government. Parliament, England's representative government, was established during the late 1200s. When English colonists came to America, they brought with them the tradition of representative government. This led to the establishment of colonial representative assemblies such as the House of Burgesses in Virginia and the New York Assembly.
