Why was the meeting of the First Continental Congress such a dangerous act?

In the meeting, colonists told scandalous lies about the English governors who ruled the colonies.

There were likely to be riots and violent demonstrations as a result of the gathering.

The colonists were gathering to discuss a move against England, a treasonous act punishable by death.

The colonists who met this way were risking ambush by the British army.
