The correct answer is D) The Congress then wrote a statement of complaints to George III, not Parliament, called the Declaration of Rights and Grievances.

The First Continental Congress met in 1774 and they sent a Declaration of Rights and Grievances. This Declaration was a way to let the British Parliament know that they were equal to British citizens and they would respond to the British Coercive Acts - also known as Intolerable Acts -. It was on this declaration that the motto “taxation without representation” was written and because of that, the taxes that were imposed to the colonies without their consent were considered unconstitutional.
