A four clue item asks who wrote long ago and who wrote at the Declaration, asks for the month of adoption, and defines signing a document as to it. The riddle-style hints center on historic writing and signatures tied to a notable event.
The text outlines the Declaration's drafting under risk of treason, the adoption date of July 4 1776, and the August 2 signing. It notes the secret signer list, divides the work into four parts the Preamble the 27 grievances the new government idea and a declaration of war.
The Declaration has survived heavy handling. It was rolled, displayed in bright sun, and faded. Now under special light filtering glass it sits under guard in the National Archives building in Washington DC. Each night it is lowered into a steel concrete vault.
