Answer:

Franklin has the rare distinction of having signed all three of the major agreements that freed the colonies from British rule and founded the United States as an independent nation: the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Paris, and the Constitution of the United States.

In 1776 the Continental Congress assigned Franklin to a commission tasked with writing a formal document to justify the decision of the colonies to cut political ties with Britain. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Robert Livingston and Roger Sherman were among the key members of the committee. Jefferson was given the task of writing the first draft by the committee. While a talented writer, Franklin took a back seat in drafting the paper, blaming poor health for his lack of participation.

hope this helps

Which is an example of collective bargaining
ollegr [7]
If I wanted to get a better salary, my boss and I would have to bargain to figure out what is fair.  A big example with this is in factories with working conditions.  For example, wanting a certain amount of break time, or having drinks included with their work, etc.  I don't know what they examples are, but this definition should help you out.  If it doesn't, just comment what the examples are and I'll help figure out which one it is.
