In Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America, a new tradition of self-governance was established with the formation of the House of Burgesses in 1619. This assembly allowed colonists to elect representatives to make decisions on local matters, introducing a form of democratic governance that would influence future American political systems. The tradition of self-representation and legislative assemblies would lay the groundwork for democratic principles in the evolving United States.
