the olive branch petition and the declaration of Independence
The Second Continental Congress from the Continental Army decided to send the Olive Branch Petition to King George III as a last attempt to resolve the conflicts peacefully and avoid an all-out war with Britain. They hoped that the petition would demonstrate their loyalty to the king and their desire for a peaceful resolution. However, the king rejected the petition, which ultimately led to the formal declaration of independence and the American Revolutionary War.
It was a petition that the colonists sent King George III as a peace offering before they declared their independence and through that, war. The King of England did not so much as look at it, and so the colonists wrote the Declaration of Independence.

No, as the Americans would write the declaration of independence less than a year later.
The olive branch petition was sent after the second continental congress saying the the colonists still wanted to stay in contact with the British. King George rejected it and that made the colonists mad. The declaration of independence was sent later and told the king that they basically wanted nothing to do with Britain anymore and were now asserting the independence from the british
Yes, as it was an official draft and step, and official declaration that the colonies were no longer officially tied to Britain; that it had gone beyond the Olive Branch Petition, that the American Colonies were separate, sovereign, and independent bodies.
the olive branch first originated in ancient Greece
The first peaceful approach the colonists took before drafting the Declaration of Independence was holding the First Continental Congress to make requests to stop the taxations the king was making. The second peaceful approach was making and sending an Olive Branch Petition to the king, which he didn't care for, therefore bringing forth the creation of the Declaration of Independence.
The outcome of the Second Continental Congress was that the King rejected the Olive Branch petition and the fighting continued. The Declaration of Independence soon made it clear that the colonies desired to throw off British rule.
The Olive Branch Petition wanted to stay under british laws, and the Common sense wanted full independence.
