The Declaration of Independence is a historical document that formally declared the 13 American colonies as independent states, free from British rule. It was adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.
The primary author of the Declaration of Independence was Thomas Jefferson, although a committee including John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston also contributed to its creation. However, Jefferson is widely credited as the main author due to his drafting skills and contributions to the document's content.
