In September 1774, the First Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to address the growing tensions between the American colonies and British authorities. Delegates from twelve of the thirteen colonies gathered to organize a unified response to the Intolerable Acts, which were punitive measures imposed by Britain following the Boston Tea Party. The Congress aimed to assert colonial rights and sought to present a united front against British oppression. This gathering marked a significant step toward American independence and collective resistance.

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.
