the first continental congress (1774)
after the french and indian war ended in 1763, king
george iii imposed taxes to pay his war debts, like the 1765
stamp act. the colonies had no say in these taxes, leading
to calls for
o taxation without representation\ and
escalating the tension between the colonists and british
authorities.

what was the purpose of the first
continental congress?
to demand full independence from britain
to strategize war against britain
to address methods for gaining representation

Explanation:

The lead-up context notes colonists protested "no taxation without representation" due to British taxes without colonial input. The First Continental Congress was convened to coordinate colonial responses to British policies, focusing on addressing the lack of representation and asserting colonial rights, not yet pushing for full independence or war strategy.

Answer:

to address methods for gaining representation
