What is the difference in the first continental congress and the second?
During the American Founding Period, the First and Second Continental Congresses had a number of commonalities. One of the most important was the delegates that comprised each, with significant personalities attending both. Another important commonality was the primary responsibility involved: both were charged with guiding the Thirteen Colonies as an integral (if also fragmented) whole through conflict with Great Britain.

What was the capital of the US before 1790?
Before 1790, the capital of the United States was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The city served as the temporary capital while the permanent capital was being established in Washington, D.C. Philadelphia hosted the Continental Congress and was a central location for early American governance. The federal government operated there until the capital moved to Washington in 1800.
What day was the Declaration of Independence signed by representatives from the thirteen colonies?
it was approved by the house on , July 4, 1776 and signed on August 2, 1776 The Lee Resolution claiming independence was adopted (congress does not ratify its own resolutions) on 7/2 in closed session of the Continental Congress (2d). (There was no House and Senate.) The Declaration, explaining the rationale, was adopted by the congress on 7/4. It was published with that date and first read publicly in Philly with the ringing of the Liberty Bell on 7/8. As the Declaration was what was generally published, the folks at that time used the date they saw. The document had to be ratified by the "colonies" and formal signing began on 8/2. I do not know the procedure for ratification. The Continental Congress turned into the Confederation Congress or the Congress of the Confederation with the Articles of Confederation. They wrote the US Constitution and so we got what we now have as just "Congress," a House and a Senate. See Related Links for a Timeline.
