The Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, were enacted by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. The First Continental Congress convened shortly afterward, in September 1774, as a reaction to these acts and to address colonial grievances. Therefore, the Coercive Acts came first, followed by the First Continental Congress.

Why did they need a first continental congress -?

It was needed to respond to the unjust terms and rules applied to the colonists by way of the Coercive Acts also known as the Intolerable acts. Also the first national American government was the Continental Congress. Colonial leaders came together in this Congress to oppose British policies that restricted their rights and taxed them without representation in Parliament. Called by the Virginia House of Burgesses, delegates from all of the thirteen colonies ,except Georgia, gathered in Philadelphia. The 1st Continental Congress urged Americans not to import British goods and to form armed militia. But rather than advocate revolution, Congress called for "peace, liberty and security" within the British empire. The British Parliament saw the Congress as treasonous and ordered colonial governors to prevent another election. Yet the 2nd Continental Congress met in May 1775.
