what are five facts on the house of burgesses??
Answer:
House of Burgesses, representative assembly in colonial Virginia, which was an outgrowth of the first elective governing body in a British overseas possession, the General Assembly of Virginia. The General Assembly was established by Gov. George Yeardley at Jamestown on July 30, 1619. It included the governor himself and a council—all appointed by the colonial proprietor (the Virginia Company)—along with two elected burgesses (delegates) from each of the colony’s 11 settlements. The assembly met in Jamestown until 1700, when meetings were moved to Williamsburg, the newly established capital of colonial Virginia.

In 1643 Gov. Sir William Berkeley split the House of Burgesses off as a separate chamber of the thereafter bicameral assembly. Like the British House of Commons, the House of Burgesses granted supplies and originated laws, and the governor and council enjoyed the right of revision and veto as did the king and the House of Lords in England. The council also sat as a supreme court to review the county courts. This system remained unchanged until the American Revolution.

What would a society be like if there were no rules enacted by a body like the legislature?
Answer:
Without any rules and regulation in society there would most likely be anarchy and even greater corruption by the few.
It would be total anarchy.
At first it would be fine. People would get along fine. But then someone gets drunk and kills someone else. Then a third person kills the second person.
Finally, a fourth person would try to stop the fight peacefully, he would die, and then everyone would get angry at the person who killed the fourth guy (I know, it’s confusing, but stay with me), and they would kill him.
People would then realise, after the fact no one got in trouble, that they could do whatever they wanted. Large companies wouldn't Have to abide by any laws, so monopolies would occur.
Because there is no government, there would be no official currency. This means coins would be counterfeited and the economy would crash.
There would be environmental damage as well. Without any laws about game, critically endangered animals would die out, causing the ecosystem to fall apart. Overfishing would kill of entire species of fish.
Finally, only small villages would remain, as cities would be to dangerous because of all the pillaging. Seaside towns would die out as overfishing would destroy their food source. small villages would have their own governments and would survive for a couple more decades until bandits came and looted everyone.
By this point, nuclear power plants will of melted, causing extreme damage to what's left of the ecosystem. Bandits would survive the longest, because they’re nomads they'd pillage until there truly was no food left, and then the human race would die.
Hope this helps and if you could mark me as brainliest. Thanks!
What the society will experience incase there is no enacted rules by body such as legislature are:
There won't be public order.
Fundamental will be deprived.
It could result to Anarchy.
For the society to be in order, then there must be rules/ law, this will help to maintain public order.Incase no law is enacted, everyone will be acting just as they like, fundamental right will be deprived, the society will be in chaos.It will result to anarchy by those in power, because since there is no law, they act and give their own rules.Learn more

In the space provided, explain what you think happened to the lost colonists. Use everything you have learned in this investigation to form your opinion. You must support your opinion with facts, details, and evidence from these case files.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
I think that what happened to the lost colonists was the following.
First, I have to say that we are talking about the lost colony of Roanoke, North Carolina, in colonial American times.
In 1587, the first group of English explorers or settlers arrived in the North American territory. More specifically, at the Island of Roanoke, modern-day North Carolina. Those 115 English colonists named John White as their governor. There, White had to return to England to get more food and supplies. The thing was that he couldn't immediately get back to Roanoke because the British war against Spain demanded the use of all the ships.
Three years later, in 1590, White finally returned to Roanoke but sadly, nobody was there. They literally "disappeared." That is still a mystery today.
I think the colonists tried to survive the harsh environment and different climate conditions and had to move to find food. They could intermingle with some Native American Indians: Some friendly, that accepted to help them. Some not, and probably they killed the colonists.
