The creation of the Virginia House of Burgesses and the signing of the Mayflower Compact both demonstrated early forms of self-governance in the American colonies. The House of Burgesses, established in 1619, marked the first representative legislative assembly in North America, allowing colonists to have a voice in their governance. Similarly, the Mayflower Compact, signed in 1620, represented an agreement among Pilgrims to create a government based on mutual consent and the rule of law. Together, these events laid foundational principles for democratic governance in the future United States.
