How did the Virginia house of burgesses contribute to the representative government?
The House of Burgesses was the first representative legislative body in colonial America. It first met at Jamestown, then the capital of Virginia,on July 30, 1619. After 1625, the House of Burgesses managed the affairs of the colony without the Governor. Although not entirely democratic it contributed to the development of representative government in colonial America. When it was temporarily dissolved in 1774, its members met in the first revolutionary convention in Virginia. There they elected delegates to the First Continental Congress. Some members of the House became leaders of the Revolutionary War. I hope that this has been a help to you.
