There were two Declarations of Independence.

---

1. Richard Henry Lee of Virginia called on the delegates of the Second Continental Congress to declare independence on June 7, 1776. They were a few votes short so they adjourned. Franklin, Adams, and Jefferson were assigned to drafting a document to support a declaration. On July 2nd, the delegates made their declaration for independence.

---

2. The document was finished and agreed to on July 4th. Most of the delegates didn't sign until August 2nd.

One was the declaration - July 2nd

The other was the paperwork - July 4th, August 2nd
