What did the continental congress decide?

They decided that they needed to do something about the British and set up militia, began storing weapons, and other means of rebellion. (They did not declare war or make the Declaration of Independence until the 2nd Continental Congress)ANSWER:The First Continental Congress met on September 5, 1774, in Philadelphia. All colonies agreed but Georgia. Although Georgia didn't send delegates, they would agree to go along with whatever the majority decided.After much discussion the Congress agreed on a resolution that asserted American rights and demanded that the English Parliament withdraw the Intolerable Acts. It prohibited the further import of British goods and authorized "committees of safety" in every colony to enforce the ban. If Parliament did not yield by the following January, the Congress planned to halt colonial exports as well. It then adjourned until the following spring.New England became an armed camp. Minutemen drilled on every village green; towns stockpiled arms and gunpowder. The British controlled Boston but nothing else.The Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia on May 10, 1775. The Congress took on the duties of a government, uniting the colonies for the war effort. An army was organized and George Washington was appointed commander in chief. On July 8, 1775, the Congress issued a declaration setting forth the need to take up arms and the reasons for doing so.Then, on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was passed and adopted by the Second Continental Congress.

Who created the navy?

The United States Navy was created on Friday, October 13, 1775, at a meeting in Philadelphia of the Continental Congress. The Congress voted to fit out two sailing vessels, armed with ten carriage guns, as well as swivel guns, and manned by crews of eighty, and to send them out on a cruise of three months to intercept transports carrying munitions and stores to the British army in America. This was the original legislation out of which the Continental Navy grew and as such constitutes the birth certificate of the navy.

Why did they need a first continental congress -?

It was needed to respond to the unjust terms and rules applied to the colonists by way of the Coercive Acts also known as the Intolerable acts. Also the first national American government was the Continental Congress. Colonial leaders came together in this Congress to oppose British policies that restricted their rights and taxed them without representation in Parliament. Called by the Virginia House of Burgesses, delegates from all of the thirteen colonies ,except Georgia, gathered in Philadelphia. The 1st Continental Congress urged Americans not to import British goods and to form armed militia. But rather than advocate revolution, Congress called for "peace, liberty and security" within the British empire. The British Parliament saw the Congress as treasonous and ordered colonial governors to prevent another election. Yet the 2nd Continental Congress met in May 1775.
