Answer 2

The correct answer is A) a code for the British colonies to declare independence from Britain.

The statement about the Albany Plan of Union that is NOT accurate is "a code for the British colonies to declare independence from Britain."

The Albany Plan was a proposal of Benjamin Franklin to establish better communication with the other American colonies and organize them in a single form of government. Franklin never thought to be a plan to get independence from the English crown, just a way to unite the colonies. The Albany Congress accepted the plan on July 10, 1954, but it was never implemented. The other colonies feared to give up the control of taxes and the British government also rejected the plan.
