Continental Congress (September 1774) passed the Articles of Association, as recorded in the Journals of Congress by Secretary Charles Thomson:
<Article X. That the late Act of Parliament for establishing...the French Laws in that extensive country now called Quebec, is dangerous in an extreme degree to the Protestant Religion and to the civil rights and liberties of all America; and therefore as men and protestant Christians, we are indispensably obliged to take all proper measures for our security.> 1774CC008
