Answer:

If you don't work, you don't eat, is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jamestown colony of James town was founded in 1607 and served as the capital of the Virginia colony. The charter to establish the Virginia colony was given in 1606 by King James First of England. Initial years of the settlers were not easy as during the first year half of the settlers died due to the germs, diseases, water, and starvation. the situation in the colony improves when John Smith became the president of the colony. He was a seaman and soldier. The colony was able to survive due to his leadership. He made the rule that "If you do not work, you don't eat" and forced the settlers to work and grow crops.
