The First Continental Congress suggested that colonists boycott British goods in 1774 to protest

Answer 1

D. Unfair taxes and the Intolerable Acts.

Explanation:

The First Continental Congress suggested that colonists boycott British goods in 1774 to protest unfair taxes and the Intolerable Acts.

The tension between the colonists and Great Britain was continuing to rise, as the colonists felt as if the taxes that were being put on them were unfair. They had no representation in the British Parliament, which was coined as, "taxation without representation." This caused the colonists to act out and later on start the Revolutionary War.

The First Continental Congress met in 1774 and wanted to make it so Great Britain would get rid of the Intolerable Acts. The Intolerable Acts, also known as the Coercive Acts, were a set of laws put on the colonists from Great Britain. These laws were put on them after the colonists continued to defy Great Britain and their taxes. The acts in the Intolerable Acts ended up angering the colonists even more, as they were deemed to be completely unfair.

When the First Continental Congress met in 1774, they agreed that the colonists should boycott British products and goods until Great Britain got rid of the Intolerable Acts.
