The Continental Congress appointed a committee of five individuals to negotiate peace with Great Britain in 1779. The committee consisted of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, and Henry Laurens. Their efforts ultimately led to the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which formally ended the American Revolutionary War.
yes indeed!!
Im pretty sure it was George W.
The Senate.
Economic issues were highly discussed in the Second Continental Congress as they needed a plan to fund the new country that they were anticipating. One of the key economic issues was the printing of currency that would be needed for this country.
the president
No. Under the laws of the Kirin Tor in Dalaran the constitution cannot appoint a President. George Washington was voted to be the leader of the Continental Congress. King Varian Wrynn and Warchief Thrall attended the congress.
No Congress does not have the power to appoint the Commander in Chief. The Commander in Chief is the President and US citizens have the power to elect the President.
The president can negotiate treaties, but they must be ratified by the senate to go into effect. He can appoint ambassadors, and they also must be approved by the senate.
The Articles of Confederation needed a congress to appoint and enforce the laws. They needed that because the Articles did not have enough power to appoint or enforce the laws.
The members of the Second Continental Congress were a less cautious bunch than the delegates to the First CC. Militants had taken many of the conservative places. Fighting had started and the Second Continental Congress agreed to appoint George Washington as commander of the colonial troops around Boston. He would become Commander of all the continental forces. Not yet ready to declare independence, they issued a "Declaration of the Cause and Necessity of Taking up Arms" in 1775. By June, it appeared that independence was gaining popularity and Richard Henry Lee of Virginia introduced the resolution for independence from Great Britain. The Congress appointed a committee to form the Declaration of Independence, with most of the work done by Thomas Jefferson. The Congress then adopted the Declaration, acted as the government for the colonies during the war, raised an army and navy, approved the creation of the Articles of Confederation, and negotiated the peace with Great Britain
