Thomas Jefferson's greatest contribution to the American Revolution was the Declaration of Independence.

Jefferson was a lawyer by profession, and began politics as a member of the Virginia Legislature (1769-74). As a member of the Second Continental Congress (1775-76), he was elected to the group to draft the Declaration of Independence (adopted on July 4, 1776), the text of which he largely composed.

Explanation:

  • With his free-thinking views and legislative work, he paved the way for democracy and religious tolerance, which is based on the premise that all people are born equal, with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
  • During his civil service, he tried several times to establish a law banning the slave trade, but for various reasons for his life, this was never accepted. He believed that free access to knowledge and information was essential to freedom and democracy.
