The '''First Continental Congress''' was called together in 1774, with 55 delegates representing twelve of the [[thirteen colonies]] ([[Georgia]] did not send a representative). This body debated over what the colonies should do, if anything, in reaction to the [[Intolerable Acts]] passed by [[Parliament]] that year. The First [[Continental Congress]] successfully boycotted [[British]] goods coming into the colonies, drastically reducing imports. It was the first step towards a written constitution, establishing statements of rights and principles. The participants agreed that a [[Second Continental Congress]] should meet the following year.
