The correct answers are B and C. The objectives of the First Continental Congress were to point out the British Parliament’s violation of colonial rights and to provide a plan that would convince Britain to restore colonial rights.

Explanation:

The First Continental Congress was a body of representatives elected by the legislative bodies of the Thirteen Colonies in 1774, except Georgia. It briefly met and appointed its successor, the Second Continental Congress, which organized the Americans in the war against the British.

On September 5, 1774, the representatives of the assemblies of the colonies met in Philadelphia. The dilemma that faced the Congress was not simple because it had to show firmness before the British Government and, at the same time, it had to restrain the independence wishes of the Sons of Liberty, which alarmed the conservative sectors, more inclined to reach an agreement with the Crown.

Congress passed a Bill of Rights and Grievances addressed to the people of Great Britain and the colonies, and also approved a petition to the king. Both documents recognized Parliament's right to regulate foreign trade but defended the right of the colonies to manage their own internal affairs without the intervention of the imperial government.

This decision did not please the more radical groups, who argued that the Parliament had no right over the colonies.

early human migrations are the earliest migrations and expansions of archaic and modern humans across continents and are believed to have begun approximately 2 million years ago with the out of africa migration of homo erectus. this initial migration was followed by other archaic humans including h. heidelbergensis, which lived around 500,000 years ago and was the likely ancestor of both denisovans and neanderthals. early hominids were said to have "crossed land bridges that were eventually covered in water" .

within africa, homo sapiens dispersed around the time of its speciation, roughly 300,000 years ago.the "recent african origin" paradigm suggests that the anatomically modern humans outside of africa descend from a population of homo sapiens migrating from east africa roughly 70,000 years ago and spreading along the southern coast of asia and to oceania before 50,000 years ago. modern humans spread across europe about 40,000 years ago.

the migrating modern human populations are known to have interbred with local varieties of archaic humans, so that contemporary human populations are descended in small part (below 10% contribution) from regional varieties of archaic humans.

after the last glacial maximum, north eurasian populations migrated to the americas about 20,000 years ago. northern eurasia was peopled after 12,000 years ago, in the beginning holocene. arctic canada and greenland were reached by the paleo-eskimo expansion around 4,000 years ago. finally, polynesia was peopled after 2,000 years ago, by the austronesian expansion.
