Representatives of the Thirteen Colonies met in New York City in 1765 as the Stamp Act Congress to discuss a unified response to the abuses exemplified by the 1765 Stamp Act and other legislation from the British Parliament deemed contrary to the British constitution. A result was the Declaration of Rights and Grievances passed on October 19, 1765. This deliberative body and the Declaration it produced was at the other end of the resistance spectrum from the Sons of Liberty, who were at the same time using civil disobedience and public displays to agitate for British reform in the colonies.
