thomas jefferson
before the declaration was drafted, jefferson served as a delegate from virginia to the second continental congress beginning in june 1775, soon after the outbreak of the american revolutionary war. he sought out john adams who, along with his cousin samuel, had emerged as a leader of the convention. jefferson and adams established a lifelong friendship and would correspond frequently; adams ensured that jefferson was appointed to the five-man committee to write a declaration in support of the resolution of independence. having agreed on an approach, the committee selected jefferson to write the first draft. his eloquent writing style made him the committee's choice for primary author; the others edited his draft. during june 1776, the month before the signing, jefferson took notes of the congressional debates over the proposed declaration in order to include such sentiments in his draft, among other things justifying the right of citizens to resort to revolution. jefferson also drew from his proposed draft of the virginia constitution, george mason's draft of the virginia declaration of rights, and other sources.
