jefferson's "rough" draft of the declaration of independence (how to look at this document?)



what do we have here?

1. a pivotal political document for the 18th century (it justifies the revolution)
2. an indictment against the british king
3. a treatise on government
4. jefferson (the best writer of the forefathers) had 17 days to write it. he completed it in three days.
