ANSWER:

The Continental Congress was a convention of delegates from the American Colonies that first met in Philadelphia on September 4, 1774. The meeting grew out of a desire for unity which had spread through the colonies. All the colonies saw danger to themselves in that acts of Parliament aimed against Massachusetts,

especially the Boston Port Bill.

On May 10, 1775, the Second Continental Congress, met in Philadelphia. During this session, the Declaration of Independence was adopted.
