Answer 1

The correct response is:

A The House of Burgesses was a representative assembly.

The Virginia House of Burgesses, established in 1619, was the first legislative assembly in the American colonies and functioned as a representative body where elected representatives made laws for the colony. In contrast, the Mayflower Compact, signed in 1620, established a form of self-governance based on direct democracy among the Pilgrims, who agreed to form a government and submit to majority rule.
