Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer:

The First Continental Congress was a conference of delegates from 12 of the Thirteen Colonies of British America on September 5, 1774 in the Carpenters' Hall in Philadelphia.

The Congress was convened to discuss the action to be taken in response to the Intolerable Acts ordered by the British Parliament; 56 members came from all the colonies with the exception of the province of Georgia, which did not send any delegates. During the Congress, the colonies sent a petition to King George claiming the settlers' administrative autonomy, and voted for the systematic boycott of English goods, to be imposed by force even on those Americans who had not practiced it spontaneously.
