Answer:

In 1681, Penn crafted a government for Pennsylvania that is based on representative democracy.

Step-by-step explanation:

William Penn was the man that founded the English North American colony the Province of Pennsylvania. He was born and raised in England. Because of this, he noticed a lot of flaws that exist in the Monarch system.

Knowing this, he decided to adopt a different type of governmental system in the province of Pennsylvania. Rather than being ruled by a sole leader, the province was ran by a group of representatives that were directly elected by the people.

The founding fathers used Penn's system as an inspiration when they're writing the system of government in the US constitution.
