Jamestown, established in 1607 as the first permanent English settlement in North America, initially operated under a corporate structure governed by the Virginia Company. The early government was characterized by a council and a president, with decisions made collectively, although it faced challenges due to conflicts, disease, and food shortages. Over time, in 1619, the introduction of the House of Burgesses marked the beginning of representative government in Virginia, allowing settlers to elect their own representatives. This shift laid the groundwork for more democratic governance in the colony.
