New York Provincial Congress

The New York Provincial Congress (1775–1777) was a revolutionary provisional government formed by colonists during the American Revolution, as an alternative to the more conservative non-revolutionary New York General Assembly, and as a replacement for the largely ad hoc Committee of One Hundred. The Fourth Provincial Congress, resolving itself as the Convention of Representatives of the State of New York, adopted the first Constitution of the State of New York on April 20, 1777.
