| 词条 | House of Assembly of Jamaica |
| 释义 |
The House of Assembly was the legislature of the British colony of Jamaica.[1] It held its first meeting on 20 January 1664 at Spanish Town. For many years, the House of Assembly was dominated by the White Jamaican planter class. A law passed in 1840 allowed most blacks and mixed-race men to vote in elections to the Assembly, though the planters continued to dominate it.[2] As a result of the Morant Bay Rebellion, the Assembly voted to abolish self-governance in 1865. Jamaica then became a direct-ruled crown colony. See also
