benjamin franklin
jefferson showed the rough draft to john adams and benjamin franklin, and perhaps other members of the drafting committee. adams and franklin made a few more changes. franklin, for example, may have been responsible for changing jefferson's original phrase "we hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable" to "we hold these truths to be self-evident." jefferson incorporated these changes into a copy that was submitted to congress in the name of the committee. jefferson kept the rough draft and made additional notes on it as congress revised the text. he also made several copies of the rough draft without the changes made by congress, which he sent to friends, including richard henry lee and george wythe, after july 4. at some point in the process, adams also wrote out a copy.
