Respuesta :

Answer: He was an eloquent writer and supported  American independence

Explanation:

On June 11, 1776, the Congress appointed a Committee to prepare a document explaining why the American colonies wanted to separate from the British Empire to become independent states. This Committee consisted of five people: John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert R. Livingston and Roger Sherman.

It should be noted that Jefferson was chosen within that committee to write the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, because his writing was known as elegant without becoming tedious.
