Function as a form of representative government.

The Virginia House of Burgesses was the first legislature established in the English colonies. It was established in 1619 and became the first form of government in the colony. (A) is incorrect because the U.S. government did not exist during this time (1619). (B) is incorrect because England regulated trading with the colonies. (D) is incorrect because, there was no official entity in the colony to regulate the establishment of religions. Competency 023
