The First Continental Congress was a meeting by the colonies in response to the intolerable acts that the British had enforced. The king and parliament must be made to understand the grievances of the colonies and that the body much do everything possible to communicate with America, and the rest of the world.
The correct answer is - NATO.
NATO was an organization created by the United States, United Kingdom, France, Canada, Australia, pretty much the countries that were allies in the World War II. The purpose for its creation was to have bigger security as all of them were obliged to support each other when facing a threat, but also to become a dominant global geopolitical factor and protect the interests of the member nations.
The Soviet Union saw this organization as a direct threat so it rushed into development of as much weapons of mass destruction as possible, including atomic bombs. Apart from the rapid increase in militarization, the Soviet Union also formed organization with the same purposes, the Warsaw Pact, an organization consisted of countries that shared the same socialist ideals as the Soviet Union.
Interest groups are groups formed by citizens in order to influence public opinion and policy. They are common in most democratic systems, including that of the United States. These groups often employ methods such as lobbying, media campaigns, polls and propaganda in order to achieve their goals.
An example of such a group is the Christian Coalition, which promotes traditional, conservative Christian values. Another example is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which fights for equal rights for African Americans. These groups are similar in that they both want to influence public policy, but they are different in their goals, their methods and their level of influence.
