The Second Continental Congress appointed a five-man committee to write the Declaration of Independence on June 11, 1776. The other members of the committee asked Thomas Jefferson to write the first draft. It took him two and a half weeks. He then showed it to other members of the committee, who made minor changes. It was submitted to Congress on June 28, 1776. Major changes were made there and the revised declaration was adopted on July 4, 1776. From appointment of the committee to adoption by the Congress was 23 days.
