Question

What statement is an accurate conclusion about the relationship between the First and Second Continental Congress?

Military clashes forced the meetings of the First and Second Continental Congress.
The First and Second Continental Congress wanted Parliament to answer their grievances and grant home rule.
The First Continental Congress took responsibility for the war with England.

Answer 1

The accurate conclusion is the second statement: "The First and Second Continental Congress wanted Parliament to answer their grievances and grant home rule."

Explanation: The First Continental Congress (1774) pressed for redress of grievances and colonial rights under British rule. The Second Continental Congress (meeting from 1775) initially also sought reconciliation (e.g., the Olive Branch Petition) and redress, though it later moved toward independence and led the colonies through the Revolutionary War after royal rejection. The first statement is wrong because the First Congress met before military clashes; the third is wrong because it was the Second Congress that assumed responsibility for the war.
