The First Representative Assembly in America.%--Under the new charter and new governors Virginia began to thrive.

More work and less grumbling were done, and a few wise reforms were introduced.

One governor, however, Argall, ruled the colony so badly that the people turned against him and sent such reports to England that immigration almost ceased.

The company, in consequence, removed Argall, and gave Virginia a better form of government.

In future, the governor's power was to be limited, and the people were to have a share in the making of laws and the management of affairs.
