Trust me I took the quiz

Answer 2

A. The first settlers followed it, and they established the House of Burgesses to make laws.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure if this is right, but I'm taking the test right now and it seems like the most reasonable answer because:

1. We know for sure that they didn't ignore it, so we can eliminate the last two.

2. If you look back at notes you took, you will find that they did make a House of Burgesses to make laws, I'm not sure about the second one, but at this very moment the first one seems more reasonable.

Therefore, we can make an educated guess that the answer is A.

I know this is late but I hope this helps to those who see this, also sorry if this is wrong, this is an educated guess based on my notes and what I know.
