no. The first draft of the Declaration of Independence took Thomas Jefferson two and a half weeks to write. He was first appointed to the job on June 11, 1776. The draft was then edited by members of a committee and submitted to the Second Continental Congress, which made major changes before adopting it on July 4, 1776. The total time was a little over three weeks.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration over 17 days.

Thomas Jefferson took 17 days to write the Declaration of Independence, and the Second Continental Congress spent two days making some changes to the document. On July 4th, 1776, the Congress voted to accept the Declaration of Independence, which is why the United States celebrates that date each year as its Independence Day from Great Britain.
