GEORGIA HERITAGE—For nearly two decades after the
founding of Georgia, the colony was governed by the Trustee*
in England and their officials in Georgia. In 1760, however, the
Georgians were granted the right to have a small voice in their
affairs. On January 16, 1761, Georgia’s first representative
assembly met in Savannah. This historic meeting was opened
by an address from William Stephens, then going out of office
as Trustee-elected President of the colony. The assembly con
sisted of sixteen deputies chosen by local voters, with no quali
fications for office-holding required. Within a few months, how
ever, certain occupational qualifications were stipulated by the
Trustees: initially, the would-be deputy had to have planted
100 mulberry trees on each 60 acres of his land; later, 15 pounds
of silk had to be produced from each 60 acres and also there
must have been at least one female in his family who knew
how to reel raw-silk. Although Georgia’s first Assembly was
not empowered to make laws or to vote on colonial matters, it
could and did register grievances and make suggestions—and
therefore serves as a land-mark in Georgia’s phase of the
growth of American democracy.
