Answer 1

The correct answer is Jamestown. Jamestown was founded in 1607 in present-day Virginia, and it was the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. In 1619, the Virginia Company granted the settlers the right to create a legislative assembly known as the House of Burgesses, making it the first colony to institute self-government.
