The declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms was the joint product of which two men?

1. The real temper of the Second Congress showed in its stirring declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms. 2. That declaration was the joint product of John Dickinson and Jefferson. 3. It vowed to die free men rather than live slaves, even while Congress took the militia into continental service. 4. Paine wrote Common Sense months later, and Lee moved the separate independence resolution of June 1776. _Source: "An Outline of American History" (USIA, 1990, public domain), Ch 2 "The War of Independence"_
