The First Continental Congress was formed in response to the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, passed by the British Parliament in 1774 with the aim of punishing Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party. On September 5, 1774, delegates from twelve of the Thirteen American Colonies met in Philadelphia and issued the Suffolk Resolves, a declaration in which they stated they would boycott imported goods from Britain unless the Intolerable Acts were repealed. After stating this measure, the First Continental Congress disbanded on October 26, 1774.

If a group of people survived a plane crash on an uninhabited island, how would they establish order? Who would be in charge?

Vsevolod [243]

There are many different scenarios of how to establish order but the most efficient way is through a simple democracy. A direct democracy where no in particular is in charge. Everyone has a say or opinion. Putting things up to a vote as a group makes things fair in a way having an individual leader making the decisions wouldn’t. There would be no fights for leadership or too much indecision on any one topic. Voting, expression, and communication through a small simplified version of direct democracy for survival purposes would be most efficient. Plus it would make for a good foundation of trust and teamwork. It is however possible for someone to rise up amongst the rest and lead properly. Its possible but it’d present more cons than pros in the long run.

Hope this helps!
