Committee of Sixty
The Committee of Sixty was an extra-legal group formed in New York City, in 1775, by rebels to enforce the Continental Association, a boycott of British goods enacted by the First Continental Congress. It was the successor to the Committee of Fifty-one, which had originally called for the Congress to be held, and was replaced by the Committee of One Hundred.
==Committee of Fifty (and fifty-one)==
The Committee of Fifty was formed May 16, 1774 in response to the news that the port of Boston would be closed under the Boston Port Act. Previous to this committee's formation, opposition to the British was organized through the informal leadership of the Sons of Liberty and the Committee of Correspondence. Isaac Low was selected as chairman of the new Committee of Fifty. The Committee was the first formed for action, as opposed to the previous Committee of Correspondence. On May 16, Francis Lewis was added to make it the Committee of Fifty-One. From late 1774, the Committee exercised effective control of New York City, and declared that Boston was "suffering in the defense of the rights of America".
On May 23, 1774 the Committee called for a Continental Congress. This congress, which became known as the First Continental Congress, was convened on September 5, 1774. Isaac Low, James Duane, Philip Livingston, John Alsop, and John Jay attended as New York's delegates. The more radical Sons of Liberty rejected these delegates and proposed their own slate. The First Continental Congress resolved to boycott British imports, and the Committee of Fifty-One formed a sub-committee of Observation for enforcement of this boycott.
