In 1774, delegates from all colonies except Georgia attended which assembly in Philadelphia?

• A. Continental Congress 1774
• B. Philadelphia Assembly
• C. First Continental Congress
• D. Continental Congress 1773

Answer: (B)

The main idea is how the colonies began to act together in response to British imperial policies. In 1774, delegates from 12 colonies gathered in Philadelphia to form a unified body—the First Continental Congress. They worked to coordinate a colonial response to the Intolerable Acts, agreed on measures like a boycott of British goods, and planned to meet again if their grievances weren’t addressed. Georgia did not send representatives, which is why the phrase “except Georgia” fits this event. The standard name for this gathering is the First Continental Congress, held in Philadelphia in 1774, making it the best choice. The other labels are either not the common historical name for this meeting or refer to a non-existent year.
