I'm not sure its the earliest, but its a form. The Colonists held town meetings where they voted directly on issues.

Articles of Confederation
The main purpose of the First Continental Congress was to petition England to give them the rights they expected. The congress was held in response to the Coercive Acts.
The origins of Virginia began in 1607 with the founding of Jamestown. The Virginia Company, which had been given the charter to found the colony, set up a General Assembly. In 1624, Virginia became a royal colony when the Virginia Company's charter was revoked. However, the General Assembly stayed in place which helped set a model for representative government in this and other colonies.
The colonies disagreed with England over the issue of taxation. After the Treaty of Paris of 1763, Parliament determined the colonies should help pay the costs of the war. They enacted legislation, taxes and tariffs and instituted a form of mercantilism on the colonies in an effort to bolster Englandâ??s coffers. The colonists protested this and widely disagreed with the economic sanctions. In addition, the colonists were not being given representation for their taxes.

In the 1600s to the 1700s, the New England colonies operated under a form of self-governance influenced by Puritan ideals. Each colony had its own charter and governance structure, typically involving elected assemblies and a governor, though ultimately they were subject to English rule. The Massachusetts Bay Colony, for example, had a strong representative government, while other colonies like Rhode Island were founded on principles of religious freedom and more democratic practices. Overall, the governance in these colonies reflected a blend of local autonomy and colonial oversight from England.
In 1920, England was part of the UK's parliamentary system of government
