In 1701 William Penn handed over his power to a single chambered legislature of elected representatives.
In October 1701, William Penn signed the the "Charter of Privileges" which was Pennsylvania's first constitution. In the document, it gave more power to the legislature as they were granted the right to initiate legislation which replaced their original function of approving or rejecting bills already approved by the Governor and his Council. The Governor has the right to approve or veto the legislation. This constitution lasted until the Revolutionary War.
