Thomas jefferson

Explanation:

The Continental Congress chose a committee of five people to draft the Declaration of Independence: Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Robert Livingston, and Roger Sherman. This committee chose Thomas Jefferson to draft the declaration, as he was the strongest writer in the group. The other four members made some small corrections to the draft before it was presented to Congress, but Jefferson wrote most of the document.
