"The first delegates to the Continental Congress in 1774 shared two contradictory goals. On the one hand they sought unanimity in their actions. On the other hand the assembled delegates aimed at sustaining the sovereignty of their own colonies. These conflictual goals captured many of the tensions that later plagued the Continental Congresses. The inherent incompatibilities behind building sustained, unanimous coalitions, while simultaneously preventing the Confederation from intruding into colonies' affairs, set into motion a legislative institution doomed to stalemate." |
