what was the reason for the second continental congress?

Question

what i mean is like what did it do or, why was it formed. help please

Answer 1

To address the growing problems with The British, Boston was being overrun by British troops and we did not even have an offical army to defend ourselves, so one of the first acts was to create a Continental Army and appoint G. Washington as General, he was also technically a representative of VA. It wasn't until Richard Henry Lee officially requested a vote on Independence that the congress actually began to vote on it and how to do it.

Answer 2

To create a new constitution and redress the deficiencies of the Articles of Confederal.
