The Virginia Company needed to attract more settlers to its territory. It reformed its rules by allowing settlers to own their own land. It also adopted English Common Law as the basis of the justice system instead of relying on inconsistent rulings from the governor. In 1619, the first elected legislative body in the New World was established in Jamestown. What is the name of this important legislative assembly?
