Q. The author of the “American Declaration of Independence” was

Thomas Jefferson is the principal author of the American Declaration of Independence, which was adopted on July 4, 1776.

He was part of a five-member committee, but Jefferson wrote the first draft, and most of the final document is his work.

Why other options are incorrect:

(A) George Washington – He was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution, not the author of the Declaration.
(B) Lafayette – Marquis de Lafayette was a French nobleman who supported the American Revolution but was not involved in drafting the Declaration.
(D) Thomas Paine – He was a political activist and author of influential pamphlets like "Common Sense", but he did not write the Declaration.

Thus, the correct answer is: (C) Jefferson.
