How would you describe the growth of representative government in Colonial America?
The growth of representative government in Colonial America was marked by the establishment of colonial assemblies, which allowed settlers to elect their own representatives and participate in local governance. Early examples include the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1619 and the Massachusetts General Court, both of which laid the groundwork for self-rule. Over time, these assemblies gained more power, asserting their authority over taxation and legislation, and fostering a sense of political identity among colonists. This evolution set the stage for the eventual push for independence and the creation of a more democratic framework in the United States.
