Answer:
Parliament had passed laws the colonists considered unfair.
Explanation:
The Second Continental Congress sought to reconcile with King George III and in July 1775, a petition was sent to the King to end the unrest between the British and American colonies.
The petition was a final attempt not to go to war with Britain and in the petition, the people pledge loyalty to the Crown, claiming that the colonies were not agitating for independence.
They sent the petition to the King instead of the Parliament because Parliament had passed laws the colonists considered unfair.
