Answer 2

Hi there! In the First Continental Congress, there were delegates from 12 colonies that met. One of the colonies didn't go to Philadelphia for the meeting. The only one that didn't send delegates was Rhode Island. This was because they thought that the result would be that too much power would be gained for the government. Therefore, the answer is C: twelve.
