Representative government took root in Virginia with the establishment of the House of Burgesses in 1619, which was the first elected legislative assembly in the English colonies. This body allowed landowners to elect representatives to make decisions on local matters, fostering a sense of political participation and self-governance. Over time, this system expanded as more settlers arrived and sought a voice in their governance, laying the groundwork for broader democratic principles in the colony. The evolution of representative government in Virginia significantly influenced the development of democracy in the United States.
