The <a href="/wiki/House_of_Burgesses" title="House of Burgesses">House of Burgesses</a> had been created in Virginia in 1619. </p><p>The House of Assembly was overseen by a Governor appointed by the Company (from 1684, by the Crown), although, for much of the colony's history, the real political power lay with the appointed Council of Bermuda, composed of members of Bermuda's wealthy merchant class. </p><p>During periods when the colony was without a Governor, the President of the Council might find himself Acting Governor, also. The balance of power began to shift away from the Council in the 19th Century, when Bermuda assumed a new importance in Imperial security, and when the Governor became also the Commander-in-Chief of the new <a href="/wiki/Royal_Naval_Dockyard,_Bermuda" title="Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda">naval establishment</a> and newly re-established and greatly expanded <a href="/wiki/Bermuda_Garrison" title="Bermuda Garrison">military garrison</a>. </p><p>This reflected the increasing importance placed on Bermuda by the Imperial government following the loss of continental bases between Nova Scotia and the West Indies, and the threat to the Empire posed by the new United States. The British Government came to view Bermuda more as a base than as a colony, but still had to negotiate with, beg and cajole the Government of Bermuda to aid its plans (this was especially obvious in the complete refusal of the House of Assembly to pass a Militia Act between 1815 and 1892, as well as its reluctance to commit colonial funds to the cost of defence). </p><p>Following revisions made to Bermuda's parliamentary system in the 1960s, the two roles once performed by the dissolved Council are now performed by an appointed upper house, the <a href="/wiki/Senate_of_Bermuda" title="Senate of Bermuda">Senate</a>, and a Cabinet, which is composed of Ministers appointed from elected Members of Parliament from the House of Assembly.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:State_House-_1620_-_St_Geo_-_Bermuda.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/State_House-_1620_-_St_Geo_-_Bermuda.jpg/220px-State_House-_1620_-_St_Geo_-_Bermuda.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/State_House-_1620_-_St_Geo_-_Bermuda.jpg/330px-State_House-_1620_-_St_Geo_-_Bermuda.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/State_House-_1620_-_St_Geo_-_Bermuda.jpg/440px-State_House-_1620_-_St_Geo_-_Bermuda.jpg 2x" data-file-width="864" data-file-height="648" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/State_House,_Bermuda" title="State House, Bermuda">State House</a>, the home of Bermuda's <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_Bermuda" title="Parliament of Bermuda">parliament</a> in <a href="/wiki/St._George%27s,_Bermuda" title="St. George's, Bermuda">St. George's</a> from 1620 until the capital's relocation to <a href="/wiki/Hamilton,_Bermuda" title="Hamilton, Bermuda">Hamilton</a> in 1815. Picture taken in 2006</figcaption></figure> <p>This was only one of the changes made in the 1960s, largely as a result of the civil rights movement. A constitution was introduced which made Bermuda's parliamentary system more like the <a href="/wiki/Westminster_system" title="Westminster system">Westminster system</a>. Political parties were legalised, and the system of a <a href="/wiki/Responsible_government" title="Responsible government">responsible government</a>, from which a Premier and Cabinet Ministers were drawn from the parliament was adopted. The Senate was created to perform a function akin to that of the House of Lords, in London, although its members were appointed, rather than being hereditary, noble peers. The system of suffrage, by which the members of the lower house were elected, and which, as in Britain, had historically been limited to male landowners, was finally extended to all adults: <a href="/wiki/Universal_suffrage" title="Universal suffrage">universal adult suffrage</a>. </p><p>Although non-white males had not been explicitly banned from either voting or standing for election, the land-owning requirement had effectively barred all but a few from voting. When the numbers of non-white land owners had increased, a minimum property value had been added. A male could vote in each of the nine parishes in which he held property of sufficient value. </p><p>The first non-white to stand for election was schoolmaster Augustus Swan, who owned two houses and dry goods stores in <a href="/wiki/Hamilton,_Bermuda" title="Hamilton, Bermuda">Hamilton</a> and <a href="/wiki/Flatts_Village,_Bermuda" title="Flatts Village, Bermuda">Flatts</a>. He was part of a coalition that pledged black support for white candidates Samuel Nash, Ambrose Gosling and RJP Darrell, in exchange for white support of Swan, but the plan failed and none of these candidates won a seat. The first non-white person to actually gain a seat in the House of Assembly was William Henry Thomas Joell, elected MCP for <a href="/wiki/Pembroke_Parish,_Bermuda" class="mw-redirect" title="Pembroke Parish, Bermuda">Pembroke</a> in May, 1883, and who died in 1886 while still holding his seat. He was replaced by John Henry Thomas Jackson, who was also non-white. Bermudian women acquired the vote and the ability to stand for election only in 1944.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Changes in 1976 saw the vote restricted to Bermudians, whether <i>Bermudian</i> by birth or by grant of <i>Bermudian status</i>, although other British and Commonwealth citizens who were registered to vote before that date remain enfranchised. In the 1980s, the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 years of age. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Make-up_of_the_House">Make-up of the House</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span
