Charter of Liberties
The document that granted Pennsylvania colonists the right to elect legislative representatives is the "Charter of Privileges," issued in 1701 by William Penn. This charter allowed for a more democratic form of governance by enabling the colonists to elect their own representatives to the Provincial Assembly. It established a framework for self-government and laid the foundation for Pennsylvania's political structure, emphasizing individual rights and liberties.
upper house only
The proprietor allowed colonists to elect representatives to an assembly.
Why did some proprietors allow colonists to elect representatives to assemblies

No, colonists did not elect members of the British Parliament. The Parliament represented the interests of Britain, and colonists had no direct representation within it, leading to the famous slogan "no taxation without representation." This lack of representation contributed to growing tensions between the colonies and Britain, ultimately culminating in the American Revolution.
