In Massachusetts, the actions of the Provincial Congress, particularly during the early stages of the American Revolution, served as a blueprint for the Continental Congress. The Provincial Congress organized local militias, conducted debates on governance, and coordinated resistance against British policies. Key events, such as the Battles of Lexington and Concord and the creation of Committees of Correspondence, demonstrated the effectiveness of collective action and self-governance. These practices influenced the Continental Congress's formation and its approach to uniting the colonies against British rule.

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.
In response to the Intolerable Acts, the Continental Congress convened in September 1774 to organize colonial resistance. They issued the Declaration of Rights and Grievances, asserting their rights and demanding the repeal of the acts. The Congress also established a boycott of British goods and called for a Second Continental Congress to address further actions against British policies. This collective response marked a significant step toward unified colonial action against British rule.
