Answer 1

Continental congress was  formed which decided to write the grievances and indictments of the oppressive rule of the British to the king

Explanation:

Congress made a respectful petition to inform the king regarding the oppressive coercive acts and intolerable acts which were inflicted on the colonists and they were not even given representation in the parliament which would give them an opportunity to vent out their grievances. This annoyed the colonists and hence decided to write a petition which asked to repeal the laws which oppressed the colonists.

But the crown failed to lend an ear to the petition of the colonists. This forced the colonists to come together and organised second continental congress convention which adopted a resolution entitled' declaration of the causes and necessity of taking up arms' against the crown.
