It took eighteen days to write the first draft of the Declaration of Independence. It then was edited by members of a committee and submitted to the Second Continental Congress, which made major changes before adopting it on July 4, 1776. The committee to write the Declaration had been appointed by Congress on June 11, 1776, so the total time was a little over three weeks.
