The petition to King George III, asserting that Parliament could not pass laws on the colonists without their representation, was primarily authored by the First Continental Congress in 1774. This document is known as the "Declaration of Rights and Grievances." Key figures involved in its drafting included John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and other colonial leaders who sought to address their grievances regarding British rule.
Parliament first limited the power of the Crown under the Petition of Right, 1628.

The deadline for Parliament to respond to the colonists' petition, specifically the Olive Branch Petition sent in July 1775, was never formally set.

The refusal to acknowledge the petition contributed to the growing calls for independence among the colonists.

The petition worked, but in 1766 Parliament passed the Declaratory Act, which said Parliament had total control over the colonies.
