Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine?!?!
Did Thomas Jefferson and the writers of the Declaration plagiarized from Thomas Paine, Common Sense?
No it wasn’t…Common Sense gave them more reason to write the Declaration.
Jefferson wrote the original draft, but much of it was rewritten by the continental congress. And since most of congress had probably already read Paine’s calls for independence in Common Sense earlier that year, it would only be logical that there might be similar wording and concepts. They were influenced by many sources in the writing of the declaration.
