House of Burgesses
The House of Burgesses was the governing body of the Virginia Colony. After the Magna Charta in 1215, English landowners expected to meet with their leaders and be consulted on laws and taxation. Virginia expected the same thing and the House of Burgesses was modeled after the English Parliament. Representatives would meet with the Royal Governor to determine local taxes and local laws.
The House of Burgesses was set up by the Virginia Company, to encourage settlement and land ownership, rather than sharecropping. Initially, the Colony was governed by a small council, with the Governor being chosen by the Company. When King James I revoked the Charter in 1624, Virginia became a Royal Colony. Although all of this information is included with the House of Burgesses, the House of Burgesses was not officially formed until 1619, when it met in a Church in Jamestown. The main task before the House was to set the price of tobacco. However, the assembly was cut short by an outbreak of malaria. For a list of the Governors/Presidents, please see Governors. For a list of Attorney Generals, please see Attorney Generals.
