Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The First Continental Congress called for the repeal of all oppressive legislation passed since 1763 in response to the growing tension between the colonists and British authorities. This included acts such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts, which the colonists felt deprived them of their rights and liberties. The Congress did not propose taxation of the colonies or accept British authority over a colonial union. There was also no order for the arrest of colonists loyal to the king.
