The Establishment of the Delaware General Assembly
In her 2003 tercentenary history of the Delaware General Assembly, Democracy in Delaware: The Story of the First State’s General Assembly, historian Carol E. Hoffecker noted that: "William Penn is the father of representative government in Delaware. In 1681 this idealistic English Quaker became proprietor of two colonies in America: Pennsylvania and the Three Lower Counties on Delaware. He tried to unite the two into one. In 1682 Penn called on the freedmen of both colonies to elect their neighbors most noted for “Sobriety, Wisdom, and Integrity” to attend a joint General Assembly. That Assembly’s inaugural meeting took place at Upland, now Chester, Pennsylvania, in December, 1682.   See more
