Answer 1

The correct option is D Britain should hand over its colonies in Africa to the Americans

The declaration of the First Continental Congress denounced taxation without representation and maintenance of the British army in the colonies without their consent. It also called for a general boycott of British goods and non-exportation of American goods to Britain. The delegates or the representatives of the colonies imposed an economic boycott of British goods.
