In 1607, the Virginia government was established with the founding of the Jamestown colony, the first permanent English settlement in North America. Governed initially by a council appointed by the Virginia Company, it faced challenges such as conflicts with Indigenous peoples and struggles for resources. The first representative assembly, the House of Burgesses, was convened in 1619, marking the beginnings of self-government in the colony. This assembly allowed settlers to have a voice in local governance, laying the groundwork for future democratic practices in America.
