The American Declaration of Independence is the document which declared the American colonies' independence from England. On 11 June 1776 the "Committee of Five", consisting of John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, Robert R Livingston of New York and Roger Sherman of Connecticut, was formed to draft a suitable declaration. The declaration was essentially the work of Jefferson, who showed it to other committee members, who made several minor corrections. Jefferson then produced another copy incorporating these changes. The final draft was submitted to the US Congress on 28 June 1776.
In early July 1776, representatives of the Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, adopted the final draft of the Declaration of Independence. All the colonies voted in favour of the resolution, and the Declaration was ratified on 4 July 1776, a day which came to be celebrated as Independence Day. John Hancock, the president of the Second Continental Congress, was the first to sign the Declaration.
