The Continental Congress was formed in response to growing colonial dissatisfaction with British rule, particularly due to oppressive taxation and lack of representation, epitomized by slogans like "no taxation without representation." Enlightenment ideas about self-governance, natural rights, and social contracts influenced colonial leaders to seek a unified response to British policies. The increasing desire for collective action to protect colonial interests and assert rights prompted the formation of the Congress to coordinate resistance and advocate for colonial autonomy.
