Over the first few days, the congress organized itself and formed committees to oversee aspects of the province's government and military preparations. On April 8, 1776, it created a select committee to consider the "Usurpations and Violences attempted and committed by the King and Parliament of Britain against America, and the further Measures to be taken for frustrating the same, and for the better Defence of this Province."
