Answer:

Discuss how respnd to the new taxes

Step-by-step explanation:

The colonial representatives met shortly after the British Crown had imposed many new taxes on the American Colonies, including the stamp tax. The Crown had also limited the degree of autonomy that the Colonies enjoyed, something that enraged the colonists, because they were used to a form of government that was almost fully independent of the government of Britain.

These meetings (called continental congress) would finally result in the Declaration of Independence and the start of the American Revolutionary War.
