The First Continental Congress.

The First cntinental congress was united or seted up on September 5 to
October 26 of 1774, taking place in Carpenters Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Carpenters Hall also served as Pennsylvanias Congress. Twelve out of thirteen Colonies ( all colonies except Georgia ) sent dellegates or representatives to meet to the First Continental Congress. This Dellegates were chosen by the citizens, Colonial legislatures, anf of the correspondence of respective colonies. The purpose of this congress was to agree to write a resolve against Britain but Pennsylvania and New York were in charge of this task, while the other colonies defended the colonial or colonists rights. At the end they camed up with the Virginian delegation or the Virginian Resolves that was written by Patrick Henry, and he stated " GIVE ME DEATH OR GIVE ME LIBERTY" and also he was the firs colonist to accept that he was American by saying " I AM NOT A VIRGINIAN, BUT AMERICAN".

The Congress had to elect some leaders and they chose George Washington, Richard Henry Lee, Patrick Henry, Edmund Pendleton, Benjamin Harrison, Richard Bland, and Peyton Randolph as presidents or rulers of the conventions for each respective colony. But primarly George Washington was elected of head of all the congress. Because this was the first congress the intentions or the objectives were not secure neither clear, but it performed many debates, speeches that will inspire colonists to support them. One result was that in this Congres the Independent Resolves were written, but they had an issue which consisted in how they would get to know every colony every act, debate or something valuable they performed. During this Congress a very important document was written by the colonist Joseph Galloway from Pennsyvania. He wrote The Plan of Union of Great Britain and the Colonies that proposed to create a " Great Council" for later on it would demostrate the colonies as a whole union, and it would be continental equivalent to the English Parliament. In other words what it was supposed to do was to have a General President or a type of king that would represent the English king but in America in intentions for letting them to kbow why the Sons of liberty or simply the colonists are regolving.

By October 14 of 1774 the Resolves and the Declarations were established directly to the congress with the ideology of being a principal act to the twelve colonies that participated. The congress accepted to have a meeting a year later if this type of complains were not attended by England. On October twentieth of this same year the First Continental Congress created a kind of pact called " The Association" that consisted of establishing tactics, rules, mechanisms to control the British armies, and to decrease the number of British resistance. Another reason of way creating this pact was to keep up the communication, or maintaining the communication available between the Colonies that are planning to revolve against Britain. This pact was passed as a type of effect of the None Importation Agreement, but this pact for working as it should be it depended if Britain reduced the Intolerable Acts by the ends of the year 1774.
