Founded in 1833, the American Anti-Slavery Society adopted resolutions and sent petitions to Congress.

Explanation:

The American Anti-Slavery Society was founded in Philadelphia, in 1833, by William Lloyd Garrison and Arthur Tappan. Its growth was rapid: in 1835, it had delegations in 400 locations and, in 1838, in 1,350; approaching 2,000 in 1840. By the end of the decade it already had between 150,000 and 250,000 members.

Throughout its existence, the Society acted in multiple ways: it promoted rallies, published newspapers and distributed propaganda, sent speakers to promote abolitionist ideals and directed petitions to Congress requesting the suppression of slavery. These activities often provoked violent opposition from groups that attacked the speakers and burned the printing presses, but also counted on the support of associations such as the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society.

The correct option is “adopted resolutions and sent petitions to Congress”.

Further Explanation:

The American Anti-Slavery Society (1833–1870) was an ‘abolitionist society’ founded by ‘William Lloyd Garrison’ and ‘Arthur Tappan’. Frederick Douglass who was considered as an “escaped slave” was the main leader of the society who many times spoke at meetings. ‘William Wells Brown’ was also a ‘freed slave’ who spoke at meetings. By 1838, this society had “1,350 local chapters” with around “250,000 members”.

‘William Lloyd Garrison’ was an American abolitionist, social reformer and journalist, who was well-known for the “abolitionist newspaper ‘The Liberator’ that he launched in the year 1831. Garrison published the newspaper until the execution of slavery by “constitutional alteration” in 1865.  

AASS or ‘American Anti-Slavery Society’ was established by Garrison that promoted the liberation of Slavery in the USA.

When Garrison turned 25, he became the part of the “slavery movement” and became a part of the ‘American Colonization Society’. Being an ‘abolitionist’ he was aware and conscious of the power that media has and its extent of Influence that can bring to ‘politics’ and so he launched a “weekly anti-slavery” newspaper “Liberator”.
