The First Continental Congress, convened in 1774, focused on addressing colonial grievances against British policies, primarily through petitions and calls for boycotts. In contrast, the Second Continental Congress, meeting from 1775, took on a more active role in managing the war effort against Britain, including the formation of the Continental Army and the appointment of George Washington as its commander. Additionally, while the First Congress sought reconciliation, the Second ultimately moved towards declaring independence, culminating in the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Thus, the Second Congress marked a significant shift from negotiation to outright rebellion.
