The founder(s) wrote the Declaration of Independence because people in the New World were still being controlled by the British, and wanted their own freedoms. So the Continental Congress formed a comitee to tell people why the colonists wanted to be free. Thomas Jefferson was the head of this comitee who was also an exellent writer. So he and a few other people wrote out the Declataion of Independence and America finally got their freedome and officially became their own INDEPENDENT nation!
