Answer 1

Answer:

C is the correct option.

Explanation:

It was a plan to unify and create a government for thirteen colonies. It was suggested by Benjamin Franklin at the Albany congress by Benjamin Franklin who was a delegate from Pennsylvania. The plan was one of the early attempts to form a union. In the Albany, congress had gathered to discuss their plan for their defense concerning french and Indian war. The plan was passed by the Albany Congress and was sent to the British and the individual American colonies. The British government rejected it and so did individual colonies. They were afraid to surrender their control of local affairs to a single central government.
