Question

what was the purpose of the first continental congress in 1774?
to decide how the colonies would respond to the intolerable acts

Explanation:

The First Continental Congress was convened in 1774 as a unified colonial response to the punitive Intolerable Acts passed by Britain. Drafting the Declaration of Independence occurred later (1776), writing a new constitution was a post-revolution effort, and the Boston Tea Party (1773) happened before the Congress was formed.

Answer:

to decide how the colonies would respond to the Intolerable Acts
