Every thing points that Adams liked the final draft of the document and that he supported the idea .We do know that Adams was all ready on 23 committees and in the same week was assigned to 3 more. There was a political advantage in having the declaration written by a Virginian for the same reason it was politically smart to have Washington, a Virginian in command of the army. Adams stated that Jefferson was the best choice for the task and that he had a "peculiar felicity of expression." It is Adams that introduced the Declaration of Independence to Congress on July 1, 1776. No notes or transcription of his statements remain but what remained was the force of Adams himself as he spoke about the matter of Independence. Jefferson writes that Adams was "not graceful nor elegant nor remarkably fluent but spoke with a power of thought and expression that moved us from our seats."
