“The version of the Declaration of Independence that we read today, the one with ‘Unanimous’ in its title, was engrossed in August of 1776, and the last signature was added in January of 1777. It then replaced the earlier version from July of 1776 that did not have ‘unanimous’ in its title.” Donald S. Lutz, ed. Colonial Origins of the American Constitution: A Documentary History (Carmel, IN: The Liberty Fund, 1998), 376.
