Detailed explanation-1: -This rough draft of the Declaration of Independence was handwritten by Thomas Jefferson. It is believed that it was copied from several “creative drafts.” The changes made from draft to final form help us understand more precisely the meanings the declaration committee intended.
Detailed explanation-2: -Between July 2 and July 4, Congress argued over every word in Jefferson’s draft of the declaration, making numerous changes. On July 4, Congress voted again – this time to approve the wording of the Declaration of Independence.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Dickinson Draft of the Articles of Confederation named the confederation “the United States of America.” After considerable debate and revision, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation on November 15, 1777.
Detailed explanation-4: -As promised, Congress reconvened at Independence Hall in Philadelphia as the Second Continental Congress on May 10, 1775–and by then the American Revolution had already begun.
