What decisions did the First Continental Congress make?

elena55 [62]

Americans were fed up. The "Intolerable" Acts were more than the colonies could stand. In the summer that followed Parliament's attempt to punish Boston, sentiment for the patriot cause increased dramatically. The printing presses at the Committees of Correspondence were churning out volumes. There was agreement that this new quandary warranted another intercolonial meeting. It was nearly ten years since the Stamp Act Congress had assembled. It was time once again for intercolonial action. Thus, on September 1774, the First Continental Congress was convened in Philadelphia. E Pluribus Unum Patrick Henry What do you do if you fail as a storekeeper and farmer? Become a lawyer! That's what Patrick Henry did. By the time he became a member of the First Continental Congress, Henry was known as a great orator. Americans were fed up. The "Intolerable" Acts were more than the colonies could stand. In the summer that followed Parliament's attempt to punish Boston, sentiment for the patriot cause increased dramatically. The printing presses at the Committees of Correspondence were churning out volumes. There was agreement that this new quandary warranted another intercolonial meeting. It was nearly ten years since the Stamp Act Congress had assembled. It was time once again for intercolonial action. Thus, on September 1774, the First Continental Congress was convened in Philadelphia. The Intolerable Acts Quartering Act (March 24, 1765): This bill required that Colonial Authorities to furnish barracks and supplies to British troops. In 1766, it was expanded to public houses and unoccupied buildings. Boston Port Bill (June 1, 1774): This bill closed the port of Boston to all colonists until the damages from the Boston Tea Party were paid for. Administration of Justice Act (May 20, 1774): This bill stated that British Officials could not be tried in provincial courts for capital crimes. They would be extradited back to Britain and tried there. Massachusetts Government Act (May 20, 1774): This bill annulled the Charter of the Colonies, giving the British Governor complete control of the town meetings. Quebec Act (May 20, 1774): This bill extended the Canadian borders to cut off the western colonies of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Virginia. Debating the Intolerable Acts Colonists came together at the First Continental Congress to protest the Intolerable Acts. This time participation was better. Only Georgia withheld a delegation. The representatives from each colony were often selected by almost arbitrary means, as the election of such representatives was illegal. Still, the natural leaders of the colonies managed to be selected. Sam and John Adams from Massachusetts were present, as was John Dickinson from Pennsylvania. Virginia selected Richard Henry Lee, George Washington, and Patrick Henry. It took seven weeks for the country's future heroes to agree on a course of action. First and most obvious, complete nonimportation was resumed. The Congress set up an organization called the Association to ensure compliance in the colonies. Carpenters' Hall — the meeting place of the First Continental Congress Rushton Young Carpenters' Hall — the meeting place of the First Continental Congress A declaration of colonial rights was drafted and sent to London. Much of the debate revolved around defining the colonies' relationship with mother England. A plan introduced by JOSEPH GALLOWAY of Pennsylvania proposed an imperial union with Britain. Under this program, all acts of Parliament would have to be approved by an American assembly to take effect. Such an arrangement, if accepted by London, might have postponed revolution. But the delegations voted against it — by one vote. One decision by the Congress often overlooked in importance is its decision to reconvene in May 1775 if their grievances were not addressed. This is a major step in creating an ongoing intercolonial decision making body, unprecedented in colonial history. When Parliament chose to ignore the Congress, they did indeed reconvene that next May, but by this time boycotts were no longer a major issue. Unfortunately, the Second Continental Congress would be grappling with choices caused by the spilling of blood at Lexington and Concord the previous month. It was at CARPENTERS' HALL that America came together politically for the first time on a national level and where the seeds of participatory democracy were sown.

What was one of the main reasons Hoover lost the election of 1932?

Makovka662 [10]

One of the main reasons Hoover lost the election of 1932 was that voters were angered by protectionist measures that inhibited foreign trade. Option B is correct.

During the elections held in 1932, Hoover was defeated by a large margin by Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt. One of the main reasons which led to this result was that the United States' economy after the Great Depression was weak and in shambles.

Herbert Clark Hoover was president of the United States from 1929 to 1933.
