How was it decided that the Declaration of Independence would be written?

A delegation from the Continental Congress tried to visit King George III. He refused to see them. It was obvious that he was not interested in the concerns of the colonies even if they spoke with one voice. The British burned the cities of Charleston, Mass, and Norfolk, Virginia, and raped the women. (Years later John Jay said that the burning of Norfolk was the biggest mistake the British committed.) Then the British sent an army and occupied New York City.On June 9 of 1776, Representative Richard Lee of Virginia made a motion that the colonies declare their independence from England. John Adams of Massachusetts seconded the motion. There was opposition so the the buck was passed to a committee. The continental congress appointed a committee consisting of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, to write the Declaration of Independence. The committee argued about how they should go about it. Adams, the court room lawyer, thought they should argue out the issues and present the best case. Jefferson thought they should present a reasoned argument for independence. Benjamin Franklin then assigned Thomas Jefferson the job of writing the declaration. After Jefferson presented his document, Adams and Franklin made a few minor changes. It was then presented to the Continental Congress. Jefferson's Declaration was so well presented and thought through that no one in the Congress opposed it. While the Congress made a few changes it approved it unanimously.
