Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The First Continental Congress was a body of representatives elected by the legislative bodies of the American colonies of Great Britain in 1774, except Georgia. It met briefly and appointed its successor, the Second Continental Congress, which organized Americans in the war against the metropolis.
On September 5, 1774, representatives of the colony assemblies met in Philadelphia. The dilemma facing Congress was not simple because it had to show firmness before the English Government and, in turn, it had to curb the independence desires of the Sons of Liberty, which alarmed the conservative sectors more likely to reach an agreement with the Crown.
Congress passed a Declaration of Rights and Grievances addressed to the people of Britain and the colonies, and also passed a petition to the king. Both documents recognized Parliament's right to regulate foreign trade but defended the right of the colonies to run their own internal affairs without intervention by the imperial government.
This decision did not please the more radical groups, who argued that Parliament had no right over the colonies, that the colonists should love and honor the king, support him in wars and respect the international treaties he signed, and that the colonies should be governed through their assemblies. This doctrine was not going to be accepted by the British Government, as accepting it meant the end of the colonial relationship.
