Best Answer

The Declaration of Independence was adopted by the second continental congress on July 4th, 1776 (Independence Day). This agreement was based on working edited copies of Thomas Jefferson's work. On July 8th, 1776 in Independence Square, Colonel John Nixon read one such copy allowed to the public, so empowering those who heard it that they stormed the Pennsylvania State house, ripped down the king's coat of arms, and burned it. It wasn't until early August, 1776, after the final copy had been written, that it was actually signed by the delegates.
