What did the second continental congress accomplish?

he Second Continental Congress was a meeting of delegates from the 13 American colonies which occurred in Philadelphia in May of 1775, shortly after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. These delegates not only established a Continental Army and oversaw the colonies' war effort against Britain, but also passed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and set up an official government for the colonies by ratifying a constitution, known as the Articles of Confederation, in 1781.
