Which founding father acted as the main force for the acceptance of the Declaration of Independence?

Question

The options are Ben Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Alexander Hamilton, Gouverneur Morris, James Madison, Abigail Adams, John Dickinson, Samuel Adams, James Otis, John Paul Jones, Richard Henry Lee, and Ethan Allen.

Answer 1

Most likely John Adams. He was the main speaker, organizer and campaigner. He argued the hardest against the king. His main support came from Jefferson and Lee.
Abigail, Dickinson, Otis, Jones and Allen had little or nothing to do with it.

For the one answer: Lincoln was not even born yet. Go back to school.

Answer 2

John Adams was the driving force, with Ben Franklin as a quieter ally in convincing the other delegates to enact the Declaration.

Answer 3

As a delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Gouverneur Morris argued for a heavily centralized government, suggesting that the President serve a life term, and hold the power to nominate senators.
