What was unusual about the way the Virginia colony was governed?

The Virginia Colony had an English governor who could veto (overturn) laws he did not approve of.

Explanation:

The New England economy depended on small-scale subsistence farming, lumbering, manufacturing, shipbuilding, fishing, and trade. Most of the necessary labour came from family members.

However, a small number of slaves laboured in the port towns and Massachusetts was the first colony to legalise slavery in 1641. The unusual about the way Virginia governed was their governor who could veto laws.
