Question

How did Benjamin Franklin affect the debate over the Albany Plan of Union?

Answer 1

Your answer should be:
C. He was the creator of the plan. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) He was the creator of the plan.

Benjamin Franklin developed the Albany Plan of Union, which became a very important event for multiple reasons

1) This was the first time that the colonists in North America met without a representative from the British government being present.

2) Franklin introduced the idea of a colonial army. This means that citizens from all of the different 13 colonies would work together under one unified command during the French and Indian War.

Even though this plan was never adopted, it set the foundation for the idea of a coordinated colonial army which would be used in America's fight for independence against Great Britain.
