Answer:
B.) received 9 of 12 possible votes
Explanation:
The First Continental Congress was a body of representatives elected by the legislative bodies of the American colonies of Great Britain in 1774, except Georgia. He briefly met and appointed his successor, the Second Continental Congress, which organized the Americans in the war against the metropolis.
On September 5, 1774, the representatives of the assemblies of the colonies met in Philadelphia. The dilemma that faced the Congress was not simple because it had to show firmness before the English Government and, at the same time, it had to restrain the independence wishes of the Sons of Liberty, which alarmed the conservative sectors, more inclined to reach an agreement with the Crown.
Congress passed a Bill of Rights and Grievances addressed to the people of Great Britain and the colonies, and also approved a petition to the king. Both documents recognized Parliament's right to regulate foreign trade but defended the right of the colonies to manage their own internal affairs without the intervention of the imperial government.
This decision did not please the more radical groups, who argued that the Parliament had no right over the colonies, that the colonists should love and honor the king, support him in the wars and respect the international treaties that he signed and that the colonies should govern themselves through their assemblies. This doctrine was not going to be accepted by the British Government, since accepting it meant the end of the colonial relationship.
