On June 11, 1776, the Continental Congress assigned the task of drafting a Declaration of Independence to a committee that was comprised of several notable founding fathers, including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin. Jefferson composed the initial draft, which was then revised numerous times by the committee and the Congress itself. After dozens of revisions and additions, the final declaration was presented and adopted by the Congressional Congress on July 4, 1776. The first printed copies of the document were produced later that day.
