The success of the First and Second Continental Congress at peaceably organizing legislation against Great Britain demonstrated the effectiveness of a representative government.
Explanation:
From 1774 until 1789 The Continental Congress served as the government of the 13 American colonies and later the United States. On September 5th, 1774, representatives of 12 of the colonies met in Philadelphia in what was going to be called the First Continental Congress. The colony of Georgia did not send a representative to the meeting as it was fighting a Native American uprising and needed the British support for supplies. After a debate, the delegates issued a letter to King George III demanding to stop the Intolerable Acts and if failing to do so, the colonies would begin the boycott against England. The Second Continental Congress happened on May 10th, 1775, and this time all 13 colonies were present. These meetings were happening now during the Revolutionary War and as a consequence of it, the debates were mainly about creating an army, and beginning to draft what on July 4th, 1776 became the Declaration of Independence and later on in 1781 the Articles of the Confederation.
