Massachusetts had a representative government established through its colonial charters, allowing for elected representatives to make decisions on behalf of the colonists. This system evolved over time, particularly with the establishment of the Massachusetts Constitution in 1780, which created a framework for a representative democracy. However, elements of self-governance were also present, as local towns often held town meetings to discuss and vote on various issues. Overall, Massachusetts exemplified a blend of representative and self-governing practices.
