The English King reacted to the colonists petition about the Sugar Act and Stamp Act by repealing the Stamp Act. Ben Franklin went and argued in front of English Parliament warning of a revolution.
The British responded to the Americans' petition for compromise by rejecting it. They believed the American colonies had crossed a line by declaring independence and were unwilling to entertain any compromise that would allow them to maintain any form of self-governance. This further solidified the divide between the two sides and escalated the conflict.
Representatives from the 13 colonies, except Georgia, met for what became the first Continental Congress. They came togetheroppose British policies that restricted their rights and taxed them without representation in Parliament
Congress adopted the Olive Branch Petition asking Parliament not to break from the colonies until a compromise could be worked out. In part because of continued rebellion and some evidence that not everyone behind the petition was sincere, but also because the King refused to consider any government body in the colonies legitimate, the King refused to read or her the petition, effectively rejecting it.
