the people of Plymouth held two meetings to discuss problems and make decisions. Anyone in the town could attend and express his or her views. However, only some male members of the colony could vote the tradition of the town meeting continues in much of New England today. At first Jamestown was ruled by a governor and a council. The company appointed these officials. To attract settlers, in 1619 the company allowed the colony to make it's own laws. The colonists elected leaders to represent them in an assembly. these leaders were called Burgess's. the assembly was named the house of Burgess's. this legislature marked the beginning of self government and representative democracy in colonial America.
