The branch of colonial government that was made up of elected representatives as the voice of the people who was representative government.

Explanation:

The government which was formed in Virginia consisted of the members of the legislative Assembly which were the voice of the people. Through these members, the people of Virginia could put forward their problems and get them solved.

This acted as a check on the powers of the governor and the council. Such a form of government was known as the representative government and this was the first of it's kind in the colonies which were in Europe.
