Being a strong supporter of the rights of the colonists, when the independence of his country was once declared, he lent all his energies to upholding the declaration and was a chief advocate of the Articles of Confederation.

Elected a member of the Second Continental Congress, he served (1778-80, 1782-83). In 1786, he was elected the Third Governor of Rhode Island and served until 1790.
