The Continental Congress was divided primarily over issues of representation, authority, and the extent of independence from Britain. Delegates from larger colonies like Virginia sought greater representation, while smaller colonies argued for equal voting rights. Additionally, there were differing opinions on whether to pursue reconciliation with Britain or to push for complete independence, particularly highlighted during debates leading up to the Declaration of Independence. Economic interests, such as trade policies and military strategies, also contributed to divisions among the delegates.
