How long did it take for the Declaration of Independence to be written after Congress appointed the committee to draft such a declaration

Definition1/14
Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776,
the Declaration of Independence is at once the nation's most
cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument.
Here, in exalted and unforgettable phrases, Jefferson expressed the
convictions in the minds and hearts of the American people. The
political philosophy of the Declaration was not new; its ideals of
individual liberty had already been expressed by John Locke and the
Continental philosophers. What Jefferson did was to summarize this
philosophy in "self-evident truths" and set forth a list of
grievances against the King in order to justify before the world
the breaking of ties between the colonies and the mother country.

Definition1/14
Any passage, no matter the size, has a main idea. Finding it can
be as easy as looking to the first sentence of the passage. In most
higher-level texts, however, finding the "main idea" can be much
more difficult than this. The questions you should ask yourself
should be asked after three full readings of the passage. These are
the questions I ask myself:
1. Why did the author write this? What is their personal
attachment to this topic?
2. What is the focus of the passage? Is it a character? A
place?
3. Is there action in the passage? Does the character do
something or does something happen at the place?
4. What is the context of this passage? What is going on in both
the writing and the author's life that corresponds to this
piece.
These four questions will almost always give you a deep
understanding of the passage. Combine them and it will give you a
simple sentence that is the main idea.
