   −
In 1775, on the heels of the gunpowder raid, Langdon was appointed to the [[Continental Congress]].  He immediately became a strong voice for independence.  He served through 1776, at which time he resigned to take a more direct hand in the war effort and in outfitting ships of war.  He was once again appointed to the Continental Congress in 1787, and served as one of [[New Hampshire]]'s delegates to the 1787 [[Constitutional Convention]] in [[Philadelphia]].
