The governing body of Jamestown was known as the House of Burgesses, established in 1619. It was the first elected legislative assembly in the American colonies, allowing settlers to have a voice in their governance. The House of Burgesses operated alongside the colonial governor and council, facilitating a system of representative government in Virginia. This assembly laid the groundwork for the development of self-governance in America.

Was the House of Burgess a democracy or a republic?

Technically Jamestown and any governing body at Jamestown was sanctioned by the King...a monarch. A monarchy that allows assemblies to be formed is a limited or constitutional monarchy. As such, by definition, Jamestown couldn't be a republic because a republic implies the absence of a monarch...limited or otherwise. Jamestown therefore was a representative democracy.
