Resolutions and Grievances of 1774 Congress in Philadelphia
Representative delegates from New Hampshire through Georgia meet in Philadelphia to protest British parliamentary acts, assert colonial rights, and demand a boycott. The body outlines rights to life liberty property and local legislative authority, condemns standing armies in peacetime, and calls for a May 1775 congress if grievances remain unresolved. A letter to General Gage warns against troop fortifications in Boston and urges restraint and open communication.
