The Virginia House of Burgesses, the Mayflower Compact, and the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut were crucial in establishing the foundations of representative government in America. The House of Burgesses, formed in 1619, was the first elected legislative assembly in the New World, setting a precedent for self-governance. The Mayflower Compact, signed in 1620, introduced the idea of a social contract and majority rule among settlers, while the Fundamental Orders of 1638-1639 provided a framework for a representative government in Connecticut, emphasizing the role of the people in governance. Together, these documents laid the groundwork for democratic principles that would shape future American political systems.
