Committees of correspondence and inspection

Local and intercolonial institutions that moved information, coordinated resistance, enforced agreements, and made political judgment part of neighborhood government.

Committees converted communication into administration. They circulated texts, inspected compliance, classified conduct, and imposed social or economic pressure. Their history explains how resistance acquired governing capacity, but it also requires the site to keep coercion visible inside the Patriot movement.
