The First Continental Congress was actually called in response to the BritishÕs punishment of Boston for the Boston Tea Party, which was a reaction against the tea tax. The Congress considered an economic boycott of British trade as well as a petition to George III to redress the CongressÕs rights and grievances. If this petition was unsuccessful, there would be another Continental Congress to address what to do next.
