The Model Treaty, or the Plan of 1776, was a template for commercial treaties that the United States planned to make with foreign powers during the American Revolution against Great Britain.[1] It was drafted by the Continental Congress to secure economic resources for the war effort, and to serve as an idealistic guide for future relations and treaties between the new American government and other nations.[2] The Model Treaty thus marked the revolution's turning point towards seeking independence,[1] and is subsequently considered a milestone in U.S. foreign relations.[3]
