It was ratified Aug 2 1776 in Philadelphia but it was not written there. It the draft was written in the Old State House in Massachusetts by Thomas Jefferson. It was then brought to Philadelphia while the approval date indicates the 4th of July the actual signing did not take place until changes and corrections could be made to that draft. Many copies were made to be released around the colonies however the original draft has been lost.
