Answer 2

You are right, the  correct answer is indeed - The House and Senate ratified the Declaration of Independence.
Thomas Jefferson created the Declaration, but it took some time before it was officially ratified by the House and Senate. The American colonies declared their independence some time before that, but it wasn't an official affair. The American Revolution ended in 1783. George Washington was elected president in 1789.
