	Colonial Williamsburg -- Colonial History
		By 1680, the majority of the colony's population was native born.
		The General Assembly, the colony's two-house legislature, was set up with a lower House of Burgesses (with two elected representatives from each county and one each from Jamestown, Williamsburg, Norfolk, and the College of William and Mary) and an upper Council (made up of 12 leading colonists appointed for life by the king).
		Williamsburg became a classic example of a "situation of traditional stability." The colonists and their British overseers fundamentally agreed on socioeconomic and political objectives, so there was little contention.
