in fact, from england's point of viewer, it was an illegal body. they had no official authority to make laws or to pass boycotts that would be imposed on the colonists. their authority came dlikt from the people. and to the extent that they were successful was the extent to which people voluntarily cooperated with their dictates. and i think this is something that is worth remembering because this was kind of an alternative government, a kind of shadow government that emerged, and it really -- its success really depended on the support of the people in a very direct way. and even more pointedly, the success of these boycotts depended on the support of the people. if the people violated the boycotts, if they continued to glibly import goods from great britain because it made their lives more comfortable or more fashionable, then the continental congress really had little recourse as an official body. and as they thought about it, the leaders of the continental congress realized that if they were really interested in making these boycotts effective t
