The principal author of the Declaration of Independence was Thomas Jefferson. He was appointed by the Second Continental Congress to draft the document, which was adopted on July 4, 1776. Jefferson's eloquent expression of the colonies' desire for independence and his articulation of the principles of individual rights and government by consent have made the document a foundational text in American history.
