Details: The Fairfax Resolves were written by George Mason and adopted by a Fairfax County committee chaired by George Washington on July 18th, 1774.  The Resolves came in response to the Intolerable Acts (also known as the Coercive Acts), passed by the British Parliament in March 1774 to punish the colonies after the Boston Tea Party. The Acts enraged the colonies and mobilized resistance.  Twenty-five patriots signed the Fairfax Resolves, which have been called “one of the most important documents in American history” and “the best single document for understanding the constitutional and legal issues between the colonies and England.” This culminating ceremony will commemorate the signing of the Fairfax Resolves near the site of the old Fairfax County courthouse in Alexandria and will feature George Washington, George Mason, and Rev Lee Massey's “first person” accounts of the signing of the Fairfax Resolves.
