Answer: Thomas Jefferson

Explanation: It’s a simple question with a complicated answer. Thomas Jefferson wrote the original draft of the Declaration of Independence. He edited his own work, then shared a “clean” draft of his work with John Adams and Benjamin Franklin. His man job was to gain support for the cause of American independence. Second, he wanted to explain why the Americans were trying to break away from the United Kingdom.
