He signed, but did not write the Congress’s official docu- ments. The position was so restrictive that in reality a delegate to Congress lost much of his influence when he was elected “Presi- dent”. Henry Laurens, who served as President of Congress re- signed in order that he could contribute more to the Revolutionary War. One of the major shortfalls of the Articles of Confederation was the lack of an Executive Branch. When the Constitution was written that problem was resolved and the Presidency of the United States of America was created, but unlike the President of Congress, he was granted many powers which we are all familiar with today.

In this speech, the speaker thinks \foul scorn that Parma or Spain [...] should dare to invade the borders of my realm" before promising to take up arms, despite having a \weak, feeble" body. For the point, name this 1588 speech delivered to an army awaiting the landing of the Spanish Armada by a leader who had the \heart and stomach of a King," Elizabeth I. ANSWER: Tilbury Speech (accept descriptions that use the name Tilbury; prompt on descriptions that don't, such as \Queen Elizabeth's speech to her army about the incoming Spanish Armada" or portions thereof, so long as the player includes something that the tossup hasn't gotten to yet) (2) This man represented holders of the Wentworth Grants in a New York court case; protecting his interests in those grants led this man and his family to form the Onion River Company. Late in life, this man published the deist book Reason: The Only Oracle of Man. After a meeting at Catamount Tavern, this man organized a militia group that went on to aid Benedict Arnold in the capture of Fort Ticonderoga. For the point, name this man who advocated independence for Vermont and who led the Green Mountain Boys.
