The colonists wanted not to be ruled by a king and his Parliament who were across the ocean. They also thought they should be allowed to make their own laws because they never got to vote in Parliament and the British Parliament never asked if the law was ok.

The First Continental Congress originally called for peace. When peace was not possible a declaration of war was issued and a declaration of independence.
The Second Continental Congress had three chief activities that they had to approve. First, they had to prosecute war. This entailed attempting to fund and supply an army. They requested assistance from the colonies and individuals such as Robert Morris, who funded the Navy. Then congress attempted to find foreign allies sympathetic to their cause. To achieve thus they needed to have diplomatic recognition. However, to achieve this diplomatic recognition they had to representative of a new nation. This led to the second activity that this congress approved, the Declaration of Independence. Once the Independence was proclaimed French, Dutch and Spanish forces allied themselves with the new born nation and aided in the revolution. A new problem arose out of the becoming independent. Having formed a new government congress needed to approve a third and final thing. Rules for the newly independent United States needed to be written. The Constitution for the new government was written and approved by that congress.
The United States of America was founded when King George III was the King of England. The Continental Congress met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They sent a delegation to King George requesting a meeting. They wanted to present a demand for a redress of grievances. He replied he would not meet with them. They had an illegal assembly and he ordered them to disband. Congress considered his answer and decided to declare independence instead.
