They're communities were small in size, due to the fact that they couldn't produce enough food to sustain a larger population.

The drafting in 1776 ended up becoming Thomas Jefferson's defining moment. Jefferson was chosen by the Continental Congress to serve on the five-person committee responsible for preparing the declaration of independence, despite his wish to return to Virginia and assist in the creation of that state's constitution.
He was then given the assignment to create a draft document for that committee to review. Jefferson created a stunning declaration of the colonists' right to rebel against the British government and establish their own on the basis that all people are created equal and have the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He drew on documents like the Virginia Declaration of Rights, state and local calls for independence, and his own draft of a Virginia constitution.
