Answer: The objective was to write a document to the King of England

Explanation: At this congress, representatives of the Thirteen Colonies (except Georgia) gathered to write a document to the English king declaring their loyalty but protesting the measures imposed by Intolerable Acts. The king's reaction, however, prompted further dissatisfaction as the number of soldiers in the colony was determined to be increased. With this measure, the first armed conflicts between English colonists and troops took place.
