Galloway proposed the formation of an American colonial parliament to act with the Parliament of the Great Britain. The parliament would involve a President-General which would be chosen by the colonial congresses. Galloway’s plan would have retained the British Empire calm, while permitting the colonies to have their opinions over their peculiar matters. It was not acknowledged by the Congress, which directed to the divergence of argument with the extremists that increases the upper hand due to the presence of the Suffolk Resolves at the congress. It was beaten by a vote of six to five on October 1774.
