beginning with the stamp act in 1765, that with the townsend acts in 1768 and later in the coercive acts in 1774, the continental congress had struggled to find a way to make their grievances known to britain. as i'm sure you know, they elected no representatives to parliament. that's why taxation was such a powerful issue. no representation in parliament and yet they were paying taxes. so they had no representatives to express their grievances directly. so what could they do? the colonial legislatures sent protests and resolutions to parliament. this informal body that we know as the continental congress met together with representatives from most of the colonies. and they, too, hammered out resolutions. they, too, sent protests. but the members of parliament did not have to listen. they had no reason to listen. they were not responding to the grievances of their own constituents to the people who represented them. so what could the continental congress do to apply further pressure on britain to try and get hated acts of parliament repealed? well, they came up with an ingenious solution
