If you were a delegate to the 1774 First Continental Congress, what would your position be on "the central question facing all the delegates," which was,
"How belligerent [should] the colonies . . . be [toward the home government]"? What course of action would you propose? Why?
Radicals wanted continued resistance, military preparations, firmer intercolonial cooperation, and a well-policed economic boycott. Conservatives wanted reconciliation with Britain, more petitions, and a new plan of union that would give the colonies some measure of self-government. Radicals thought conservative measures would destroy their rights and liberties; conservatives thought radical measures would produce chaos.
