Thomas Jefferson
There were five men assigned to the committee to write the Declaration of Independence. They were Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Robert Livingston and Roger Sherman. Thomas Jefferson is credited with most of the work.
The primary author of The Declaration of Independence was Thomas Jefferson. He did have other influences on this document, but his work is mostly what affects us today as American citizens.
Thomas Jefferson penned this document then the House of Burgess made suggestions. Thomas Jefferson was considered to be the chairman of the 'Committee of Five.' He was appointed by the other four members to write the initial draft of the Declaration of Independence. Although, the others made a few changes, the majority of the work was done by Thomas Jefferson.
Architecture is the one he is most known for.
No. Thomas Jefferson wrote it with the help of Franklin and Adams giving input. You may be mistaking Philip for Robert Livingston, who was a member of the Committee of Five who drafted the Declaration.
Thomas Jefferson got his ideas from John Locke, who believed that people were born with certain natural rights of life, liberty, and property; that people formed government to protect those rights; and that a government interfering with these rights will be overthrown.
