"It allowed a degree of self-rule."
The House of Burgesses (established 1619 in Virginia) was an elected representative assembly of free male landowners — it excluded women, slaves, and most indentured servants — and while the crown later appointed governors in the royal colony, the Burgesses exercised local legislative authority and thus provided limited self-government.
