Answer 1

The continental congress was the group of representatives from the colonies

Explanation:

Continental congress was formed with each individual pioneer who represented their state during the revolutionary war. In first continental congress meeting, British’s oppression in the form of levying huge taxes and passing intolerable acts were discussed at length.  

They decided to send a formal letter which asked the British crown to stop inflicting huge taxes on the colonists. But the letter was ignored by the homeland. Second continental congress was successful as a continental army was formed and declaration of independence was issued by the members of the second continental congress.
