What was the purpose of the First Continental Congress?

The First Continental Congress met in 1774 to coordinate the colonies’ response to British policies, including taxation without colonial representation. It called for the colonies’ rights to be respected and sought repeal of the taxes and other measures they opposed. It did not meet to declare independence or create a new government, so the correct choice is “to discuss the taxing situation with England and repeal taxation laws.”
