PLS takes a look back at Pennsylvania's 2021-22 Legislative Session. #PennsylvaniaLegislativeServices #PALegislativeSession #PAHouse #PASenate #PAPolitics
On June 11, 1776, the Colonies’ Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia to form a committee with the sole purpose of drafting a document that would break their ties with Great Britain. This committee included Thomas Jefferson, who was considered to be the most eloquent writer at the time, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman and Robert R. Livingston. A total of 86 changes were made to the draft and on July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress officially adopted the final version. The next day, copies of the Declaration of Independence were handed out and on July 6, The Pennsylvania Evening Post became the first newspaper to publish the document. Congress established Independence Day as a national holiday in 1870. We at PLS wish you all a happy Independence Day. Let freedom ring!
