2. Introduction and Summarize the video.
    _ Jefferson is known as the person wrote the first draft of Declaration of Independence of the United State. When the US got freedom back from  the British, Congress members nominated comedians that are John Adams and Benjimen Franklyn to draft the formal outline document their ideals for the Declaration. Adams found Jefferson's draff which Jefferson wrote early. However, the draft was like a fully done original, and four comedians argued to change it. Even though the document was changed four times, in the second of July 1770, Congress signed the Declaration of Independence, and in the fourth of July, they approved the Declaration of Independence.

3. I listened thi video for 50 minutes.

4. I chose this video just because it was kind of easy to understand its content for me. Moreover, honestly, information from the video don't affect me. However, the Declaration of Independence in July 4th 1770 is big change and formidable effect to the Us. It started the freedom for a country, it opened the new life for America.
