The first congress of the thirteen colonies, then called the conti- nental congress, met at Philadelphia, April 5th, 1774 ; and the second one met at the same place, May 10th, 1775. From that 150 time until the present, congress has assembled annually, and eonK^ times twice in one year. Prior to the adoption of the articles of confederation, in March, 1781, there was no constitution, treaty or compact, which united the colonies or states. The union was in ft measure spontaneous and voluntaiy, s...pringing from a commoD danger and the necessity of uniting then- strength to protect them- selves from a common enemy. (See ante. P. 19. ) Congress had, for more than six years, no power over the states or the people, and no political power whatever. They had simply a moral and advisory power ; but the advisory power was obeyed by the states and the people, and was carried into eflfect as implicitly, for years, without any articles of comjiact, as it was after the adoption of the articles of confederation.
