Changes

The [[Second Continental Congress]] is by far the more noteworthy of the two. As the British government's treatment of the colonies had not improved, the Congress drafted the famous [[Declaration of Independence]] in 1776. As war broke out and the [[American Revolution]] swung into full scale, the Congress acted as the unofficial government of the colonies. After the victory, they also drafted the [[Articles of Confederation]], which would serve as America's governing document for the next nine years until it was replaced by the [[Constitution]].
