Answer: To demand a repeal of the Tea Act
Explanation:
Though the Second Continental Congress managed to set the foundation of what would later become the Federal Government, the demand to repel the Tea Act and the rest of the Intolerable Acts sanctioned by Britain was adressed on the First Continental Congress on September, 1774. On the First Continental Congress, the colonists also pleaded with King George III explaining their issues with the Acts imposed on them, commiting to reuniting again shall their demands not be met. Since the King dismissed their plea, the Second Continental Congress took place on May, 1775.
