Colonial legislatures in the American colonies began to close after the American Revolution, particularly as the colonies declared independence from British rule in 1776. The last of the colonial legislatures effectively ceased to function by 1781, as the Articles of Confederation took effect, transitioning governance to a new system. By this time, many colonies had already established their own state governments.
