Which two Adams were among the Massachusetts delegates at the Continental Congress in 1774?

• A. John Adams and Benjamin Franklin
• B. Samuel Adams and George Washington
• C. Sam Adams and John Adams
• D. John Adams and Patrick Henry

Answer: (C)

Two Adams from Massachusetts attended the Continental Congress in 1774: Samuel Adams and John Adams. Samuel Adams was a leading organizer of colonial resistance and helped mobilize opposition to Parliament’s policies, while his cousin John Adams was a skilled lawyer who argued passionately for colonial rights at the Congress and later played a pivotal role in the push toward independence. The other names listed come from other colonies or are not Adams, so they don’t fit the question.
