The Flag Resolution of 1777. On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed the Flag Resolution which stated: Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation..
