Hint: The Second Continental Congress was an agreement that took place in Philadelphia in May 1777. The convention consisted of 13 colonies as its members.

Complete answer: The Second Continental Congress took place after the American Revolutionary war. The same 56 delegates from the first Conference were present in the second. Peyton Randolf was reappointed as the President and Charles Thomson as the Secretary. The new Continental Congress wanted to continue the war with borrowed funds but no levying of taxes to raise military funds. It also did not have the power to regulate commerce. It depended on money, supplies and troops from the other states. George Washington was chosen as the Commander of the Continental Army. The Declaration of the Congress was made on July,4th 1776. This called for full freedom of the colonies. Under the Articles of the Confederation, it established itself as a central government which was to remain in force from 1788. It banned British goods. They were looking forward to the ending of the war and replacing the British government.
