In Jamestown, several key laws and practices were established to promote order and governance. The introduction of the "Great Charter" in 1618 allowed for a form of self-governance, leading to the creation of the House of Burgesses, the first elected legislative assembly in America. Additionally, the "Lawes Divine, Morall and Martiall," enacted in 1610, imposed strict regulations and penalties to maintain discipline and ensure the colony's survival. These measures laid the foundation for representative government and legal frameworks in the early American colonies.
