American colonies grew under the supervision of the British monarchy. With the pass of time, the American colonies wanted and demanded more freedom and started to implement limited forms of self-government in the 1600s. Each of the 13 colonies had a charter or an agreement with the crown of England. But colonies started to form legislative bodies. The Governor of the colony was appointed by the English king and the legislature controlled its authority. The first legislature in the colonies was established in 1619 and was called the Virginia House of Burgesses. So yes, the legislature represented the interests of the colonists, while the governor represented the interests of the king.
