Answer: C) George III's rejection of the Olive Branch Petition

Explanation: There were a number of reasons why the Second Continental Congress changed their stance over time. They had wanted to stop the fighting with Great Britain and reach a peace and understanding. However, George III's rejection of the Olive Branch Petition- their attempt at a peace- forced them to reconsider that stance. Also a factor was George III's decision to hire Prussian mercenaries- known as Hessians- against the colonists.
