Richard Henry Lee sent a resolution urging the Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to declare independence. Drafts of the Declaration of Independence were written by Thomas Jefferson and approved by the committee formed to draft a declaration of independence. The Continental Congress then debated and revised the Declaration of Independence and approved the final draft on July 4, 1772.
