Question

What are some examples of the ways comedies began to self govern select all that apply was it Mercantile establish a set of taxes that colonist were required to pay or when first starting to self govern Virginia colonist could only vote in government matters if they own land or colonist, elected government representatives, or Puritans held down meetings to discuss important issues

Answer 1

The examples of how the colonies began to self-govern include:

1. Colonists elected government representatives - This began the practice of representative government, where elected officials would make decisions on behalf of the colonists.

2. Puritans held town meetings to discuss important issues - This practice allowed community members to come together to discuss and make decisions on local matters, fostering a sense of self-governance.

The other examples you provided (establishing taxes and land ownership requirements for voting) are aspects of colonial governance but are not specifically about the act of self-governance in the same way the other two examples are.
