Charles Townshend as chancellor enacted the Townshend acts in an attempt to control the colonies. They resulted in duties or taxes on imports on, among other things, tea. Then England, controlling the colonial monies, would lessen the abilities of the colonies to govern themselves. There were many protests, but the most famous one was when tea was dumped into the bay by colonists resulting in the Boston Tea Party.
The Continental Congress was initially formed in response to the passage of the Intolerable Acts (laws passed by the British Parliament meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for the Boston Tea Party).The Congress met from 1774 to 1789 three times. At the first one, in 1774, Benjamin Franklinconvinced the colonies to form a representative body.
The Patriots were attempting to demonstrate against British taxation, and the soldiers were there to maintain order.
