The power to resolve the dispute between New Hampshire and New York regarding Vermont rested with Congress.
To find the answer, we need to understand the context of the situation. In the late 18th century, there was a territorial dispute between the states of New Hampshire and New York over the area now known as Vermont. Both states claimed ownership of the territory, which resulted in tensions and conflicts.
