The purpose of the House of Burgesses was to make laws for the colony.

Explanation:

The House of Burgesses was the elected lower house (convened by a legislative assembly headed by Governor Berkeley) in the Legislative Assembly established in the colony of Virginia in 1619 in British America. Over time, the name went on to represent the entire legislative body of the Virginia Colony, and later, after the American Revolution, it became the Virginia General Assembly, the current state assembly.

a phrase from a poem by ralph waldo emerson about the battle of lexington and concord. emerson's words read, “here once the embattled farmers stood / and fired the shot heard round the world.”
