Answer:

The first Continental Congress (September 5 - October 26, 1774) was attended by delegates from all the colonies except Georgia (it joined the Second Continental Congress on July 20, 1775). Congress participants adopted an appeal to the King of England demanding the lifting of trade restrictions and taxation of the colonies without the consent of their representatives. The First Continental Congress called on the colonists to boycott British goods and begin preparations for a possible war.

The Second Continental Congress (May 10, 1775 - March 2, 1781) actually performed the functions of the legislative and executive powers of the rebel colonies: it led recruiting for the army, military operations, and entered into international agreements. The Second Continental Congress adopted a resolution on the formation of each colony's own government (May 10, 1776), as well as the Declaration of Independence of the United States in 1776. By decision of the Second Continental Congress, the Continental Army was created under the command of Washington.

Decisions that were made by Second Continental Congress included:

  1. Elect George Washington as Commander in Chief
  2. Send the Olive Branch petition to King George
  3. Form Continental army

Explanation:

  • The Congress, attended by representatives from each colony, was held just three weeks after the first shots were fired at the War of Independence, in Concord and Lexington, Massachusetts.
  • Congress assumed many governmental duties and united the colonies to fight Britain.
  • Congress soon assumed responsibility for the formation of the Continental Army, headed by George Washington of Virginia as its commander-in-chief.
  • Members of Congress decided last time to try to solve the problem peacefully: they sent the King an "Olive Branch Petition". When that petition was rejected and the Prohibitory Act arrived in response to the British government, the last reasons for loyalty to the British crown disappeared.
