This theory sustains that society is formed of interrelated parts that play a specific role in the maintanance and balance of that society as a whole; social institutions, such as school, family or religion, play a distinct role and meet the biological and social needs of individuals but they also meet the needs of the structure.
The House of Burgesses was a legislature that started out in Jamestown but was later moved to Williamsburg. The House of Burgesses gave the Americans 157 years of head start in democracy.
