What event convinced south carolina to send representatives to the first continental congress? (1 point) passage of the currency
AleksandrR [38]

The correct answer is: "the passage of the intolerable acts".

The intolerable acts were punitive laws enacted by the British parliament to be implemented in the colonies in North America in 1774 after the events that had taken place in the so-called Boston Tea Party. The sanctions were imposed in Massachusetts.

The aim of the British when issuing this coercive legislation was to set back control over the colonies and prevent any rebellion. But the effect was exactly the opposite as they created a widespread feeling of resistance against the colonizers and towards the fight for achieving free will for the Thirteen colonies. In this scenario, in September of 1774, the first Continental Congress was organized to prepare and coordinate forces for the American Revolutionary War.

Delegates of twelve of the Thirteen colonies met in the Congress, including representatives from South Caroline, who were the following: Christopher Gadsden, Thomas Lynch Jr., Henry Middleton, Edward Rutledge and John Rutledge.
