C. He had proven his profound writing skills
Explanation:
- John Adams was the leader of Independence advocates, which was unanimously confirmed on July 2. A committee of five had already devised an official declaration that would be ready when Congress voted on independence. The term "declaration of independence" is not used in the document itself.
- Adams persuaded the committee to select Thomas Jefferson to create the original concept of the document, which Congress would later edit to create the final version. The declaration ultimately provided a formal explanation for why Congress voted to declare independence from the United Kingdom more than a year after the outbreak of the American War of Independence. The nation's birthday, Independence Day, is celebrated on July 4, though Adams wanted it to be July 2.
- After signing the document on July 4, Congress released the Declaration of Independence in multiple forms.
- Adams convinced Jefferson to write the Declaration, saying that Jefferson is 10 times better writer than he is.
