Virginia

You will often hear Virginia referred to as the Commonwealth of Virginia.  This does not mean that Virginia has a different form of government than any other state.  “Commonwealth” is defined as a political unit or government in which supreme authority is vested in the people.  Virginia has a very extensive history and interesting government.  Virginia’s history dates all the way back to the first permanent English settlement in the “New World” and a majority of Virginia’s political leaders focus their attention on the rights of the people.

This commonwealth ended when King Charles II reclaimed the throne in 1660. 
	In Colonial time, Virginia was officially known as the Colony and
