All Power Derives from the People: The Continental Congress

This presentation examines the critical role of the Continental Congress in leading the American colonies through the Revolutionary War. From the First Continental Congress in 1774 to the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. This presentation explores key events, influential leaders, and landmark decisions that transformed the idea that authority is derived from the consent of the governed into a revolutionary reality that shaped the creation of the United States.
