Question

What was the intended purpose of the First Continental Congress, and how did it seek to achieve its goals?

Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

When, in 1774, the first Continental Congress scheduled the Second Continental Congress to meet the following spring. the purpose was to discuss how Britain had responded to their petitions and to see if any further action was needed. The First Congress had sent petitions to the King and Parliament and had encouraged states to adopt non-importation agreements in opposition to the Intolerable Acts. If Britain had not reformed its actions, the plan was to strengthen the non-importation agreements at the Second Congress.

By the time the Second Continental Congress had met, Britain had flat our rejected the petitions and was gearing up to send a much larger army to North America. War had already broken out at Lexington and Concord. American militia were besieging British-held Boston.

At that point the Second Congress had to change its purpose and decide how to manage the war that had been thrust upon it. It opted to create the Continental Army and to prepare for war with Britian.

Answer 2

The First Continental Congress was a meeting of delegates from 12 of the 13 British colonies that became the United States. It met from September 5 to October 26, 1774, at Carpenters' Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, after the British Navy instituted a blockade of Boston Harbor and Parliament passed the punitive Intolerable Acts in response to the December 1773 Boston Tea Party.
