Question

What are the similarities and differences between the Stamp Act Congress document and the Declarations and Resolves of the First Continental Congress?

Answer 1

The Stamp Act Congress of 1765 and the First Continental Congress of 1774 were two assemblies of legislatures from the American colonies, assembled in response to taxes enacted by Great Britain. Yet while the Stamp Act Congress and the concomitant boycott of British goods positively forced Britain to repeal the Stamp Act, the First Continental Congress happened during a time of intensified tension between Britain and the colonies and in its place directly led to the American Revolution.
