The correct answer is:
B. The first representative assembly in the European colonies.
Explanation:
The English monarchy was a limited monarchy where the King's decision had to be supervised by a representative assembly, in England it was the British Parliament, but the colonies had a military government system and demanded the same rights as Englishmen living in Britain.
The Virginia Company voted to have a representative assembly instead of the military government system that had been placed so the company would gain corporate control over the colonies; Governor George Yeardley formed the first representative assembly named The House of Burgesses at Jamestown on July 30, 1619.
The House of Burgesses was constituted by the Governor, a Council and Β 22 Burgesses that were elected representatives. Burgesses that had the power to create laws, while the Governor and the Council had the power to veto and correct those laws.
