Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The colonies responded to the Coercive and Quebec Acts by agreeing to send delegates to an intercolonial congress which would meet in Philadelphia. This congress, known as the First Continental Congress, would discuss a united response to Britain's actions and pave the way for further colonial unity. While there were certainly factions within the colonies that favored more extreme measures, such as an immediate boycott of British goods or outright rebellion, the decision to hold the First Continental Congress represents a step towards a more organized and coordinated opposition to British rule in North America.
