From 1774 to 1789, the Continental Congress served as the government of the 13 American colonies and later the United States. The First Continental Congress, which was comprised of delegates from the colonies, met in 1774 in reaction to the Coercive Acts, a series of measures imposed by the British government on the colonies in response to their resistance to new taxes. In 1775, the Second Continental Congress convened after the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) had already begun. In 1776, it took the momentous step of declaring America’s independence from Britain. Five years later, the Congress ratified the first national constitution, the Articles of Confederation, under which the country would be governed until 1789, when it was replaced by the current U.S. Constitution.
Answer: Bias by omission.
- <em>Bias by omission</em> refers to the exclusion of relevant information. In this case, removing mention of the British would be a bias of omission.
- <em>Bias by source choice</em> happens when an author only looks at a certain type of source, especially when this type is likely to confirm the opinion of the author.
- <em>Unintentional bias</em> occurs when the author's personal beliefs or ideology are unconsciously introduced in the text.
- <em>Bias by arrangement</em> happens when a story is purposely designed to be more accessible to readers, therefore minimizing the impact of other stories. This happens when the media covers only one type of stories.
