House Of Burgesses
The first representative assembly in the English colonies was called the Virginia House of Burgesses. Established in 1619 in the Colony of Virginia, it marked the beginning of self-governance in America. The assembly allowed elected representatives to make laws and decisions on behalf of the colonists, setting a precedent for future legislative bodies in other colonies.

If the American colonies were to stay in England, America would not be the same. The 13 colonies were the first to allow religious freedom and have religious tolerance as proven in some as history's greatest document such as Mayflower Compact and Maryland's Tolerance. Also if the American colonies were to stay in England there wouldn't be the democratic system of government we have today because the colonies sprouted a system of government called The House of Burgess es which was the start of a representative government which lead to our country today.
