Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Olive Branch Petition, sent to King George III by the Second Continental Congress in 1775, aimed to assert the rights of the colonies while maintaining loyalty to the British crown. It sought a cease-fire in Boston, repeal of the Coercive Acts, and negotiations to establish guarantees of American rights, all in the hope of avoiding further conflict. However, it did not propose changing colonial administration to be under the British cabinet rather than the King.
