The lower house legislature was elected by those property owners qualified to vote.
The plan called for a two house legislature, and a court system. The members of the lower house of the legislature would be elected by the people. The members of the upper house would be chosen by the lower house.
In royal colonies, representatives were typically chosen by the king or the colonial governor, who appointed a council to assist in governance. Additionally, the lower house of the legislature was often elected by the colony's free white male property owners. This created a dual system where the governor and council represented royal authority, while the elected assembly reflected the interests of local citizens.

The lower house of the legislature
The early debates centered on a proposal by James Madison known as the Virginia Plan. Supported by the large states, it called for a bicameral (two-house) legislature empowered to make laws. The lower house was elected by voters in each state, and the upper house was chosen by the lower house from candidates nominated by the state legislatures. Representation in both houses was based on population. The executive was chosen by the legislature for one term and was responsible for executing all laws. The legislature also appointed the judges to one or more supreme courts and lower national courts. A Council of Revision made up of the executive and judges could veto laws passed by the legislature or the states; a vote by both houses was needed to override a veto by the Council.
In many colonial governments, the lower house of the legislature was commonly referred to as the "Assembly." This body was typically composed of elected representatives from various colonies or regions, who would discuss and pass laws, as well as address local issues. The specific name and structure could vary by colony, but "Assembly" was a prevalent term used in several British colonies.
