In colonial America, the House of Burgesses, the Mayflower Compact, and town hall meetings were significant developments that contributed to the growth of self-governance and democratic principles. The House of Burgesses established a legislative assembly in Virginia, while the Mayflower Compact represented an early form of social contract among settlers. Town hall meetings allowed communities to engage in direct decision-making, fostering civic participation. Together, these institutions laid the groundwork for future democratic governance in the United States.
