Around 1750 Benjamin Franklin knew of two opposite types of electric charge, produced by rubbing a glass rod or amber rod with fir. He decided that the charge developed on the glass rod should be "positive" charge, and from there on charges were defined. What would have changed if Franklin had decided the amber rod was the positive charge?

If Benjamin Franklin had decided to call the charge on the amber rod positive, nothing would have changed only that we would have a different convention for identifying charges.

What would have changed?

We know that electricity has to do with the flow of  current, there are fundamentally two kinds of charge, a positive and a negative charge. We know that the kind of charge that a material carries is arbitrary.

As we can see here, it was Benjamin Franklin in 1750 that defined the charge on the glass rod and the charge on the amber rod as negative. If Benjamin Franklin had decided to call the charge on the amber rod positive, nothing would have changed only that we would have a different convention for identifying charges.
