The American settlements that were given the right to help govern themselves were primarily the **New England** colonies. These colonies, including Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, had town meetings and other forms of self-governance.
While Virginia also had systems of governance (such as the House of Burgesses), the more widespread practice of self-governing was notably prominent in New England. Philadelphia, as part of Pennsylvania, had its own local governance, but it was part of the broader New England influence. New Orleans, as part of French Louisiana at the time, did not have the same self-governance structures as the English colonies.
Thus, the best answer from your list would be **New England**.
