Detailed explanation-1: -The Albany Plan of Union was a plan to place the British North American colonies under a more centralized government. The plan was adopted on July 10, 1754, by representatives from seven of the British North American colonies.
Detailed explanation-2: -Despite the failure of the Albany Plan, it served as a model for future attempts at union: it attempted to establish the division between the executive and legislative branches of government, while establishing a common governmental authority to deal with external relations.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Albany Plan of Union was significant because it provided the foundation for the Articles of Confederation the Union proposed for the first American Constitution in 1777. The plan demonstrated the ability of the colonies to think alike and their shared goals.
Detailed explanation-4: -While the convention delegates unanimously approved the Albany Plan, the legislatures of all seven colonies rejected it because it would have taken away some of their existing powers. Due to the colonial legislatures’ rejection, the Albany Plan was never submitted to the British Crown for approval.
