The Olive Branch Petition
Solution
The answer is: The Declaration of Resolves.
Explanation for each option:
The Declaration of Independence: This document was produced by the Second Continental Congress in 1776, not the First Continental Congress. It declared the American colonies' independence from British rule.
The Declaration of Resolves: This is the correct answer. The First Continental Congress, which met in 1774, produced the Declaration of Resolves. This document outlined the colonies' grievances against British policies and called for a boycott of British goods.
Common Sense: This pamphlet was written by Thomas Paine and published in January 1776. It was not produced by any Continental Congress but played a significant role in persuading American colonists to support independence from Britain.
The Olive Branch Petition: This document was produced by the Second Continental Congress in July 1775. It was a final attempt to avoid a full-blown war with Great Britain by asserting the colonies' loyalty to the British crown and seeking a peaceful resolution to the conflicts.
In summary, the Declaration of Resolves was the document produced by the First Continental Congress.
