In 1624, the Crown revoked the royal charter earlier granted to the <a href="/wiki/Virginia_Company" title="Virginia Company">Virginia Company</a>, and assumed direct government of the colony.</figcaption></figure> <p>A <b>Crown colony</b> or <b>royal colony</b> was a <a href="/wiki/Colony" title="Colony">colony</a> governed by <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_England" title="Kingdom of England">England</a>, and then <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Great_Britain" title="Kingdom of Great Britain">Great Britain</a> or the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a> within the <a href="/wiki/English_overseas_possessions" title="English overseas possessions">English</a> and later <a href="/wiki/British_Empire" title="British Empire">British Empire</a>. There was usually a <a href="/wiki/Governor#United_Kingdom_overseas_territories" title="Governor">governor</a> to represent the Crown, appointed by the <a href="/wiki/Monarchy_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Monarchy of the United Kingdom">British monarch</a> on the advice of the <a href="/wiki/Government_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Government of the United Kingdom">UK Government</a>, with or without the assistance of a local council. In some cases, this council was split into two: an executive council and a <a href="/wiki/Legislative_council" title="Legislative council">legislative council</a>, and the executive council was similar to the <a href="/wiki/Privy_Council_of_the_United_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Privy Council of the United Kingdom">Privy Council</a> that advises the monarch. Members of executive councils were appointed by the governors, and British citizens resident in Crown colonies either had no representation in local government, or limited representation in a <a href="/wiki/Lower_house" title="Lower house">lower house</a>. In several Crown colonies, this limited representation grew over time. As the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Commons" title="House of Commons">House of Commons</a> of the <a href="/wiki/British_Parliament" class="mw-redirect" title="British Parliament">British Parliament</a> has never included seats for any of the colonies, there was no direct representation in the sovereign government for British subjects or citizens residing in Crown colonies. </p><p>The administration of Crown colonies changed over time and in the 1800s some became, with a loosening of the power of royal governors, <a href="/wiki/Self-governing_colony" title="Self-governing colony">self-governing colonies</a>, within which the <a href="/wiki/Sovereign_state" title="Sovereign state">sovereign state</a> (the UK Government) delegated legislation for most local internal matters of governance to elected assemblies, with consent of the governor, overseen by the <a href="/wiki/Colonial_Office" title="Colonial Office">Colonial Office</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Board_of_Trade" title="Board of Trade">Board of Trade and Plantations</a>. The Colonial Office gave way to the <a href="/wiki/Dominion_Office" class="mw-redirect" title="Dominion Office">Dominion Office</a> for some of these territories in 1925. Elected lower houses had their beginnings in the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Burgesses" title="House of Burgesses">House of Burgesses</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Colony_of_Virginia" title="Colony of Virginia">Colony of Virginia</a> in 1619 and the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Assembly_of_Bermuda" title="House of Assembly of Bermuda">House of Assembly</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_Bermuda" title="Parliament of Bermuda">Parliament of Bermuda</a> in 1620. While initially limited in government even with an elected lower house, over the centuries in some Crown colonies, more independent authority was given. </p><p>All remaining British colonies, whether Crown (such as the <a href="/wiki/Falkland_Islands" title="Falkland Islands">Falkland Islands</a>) or self-governing (such as <a href="/wiki/Bermuda" title="Bermuda">Bermuda</a>), were renamed "<a href="/wiki/British_Dependent_Territories" class="mw-redirect" title="British Dependent Territories">British Dependent Territories</a>" from 1 January 1983 under the <a href="/wiki/British_Nationality_Act_1981" title="British Nationality Act 1981">British Nationality Act 1981</a>.
