2end influence is that he wrote the Declaration of Indepence. He was selected to draft it in 1776 because of his education and political perticipation by being a representative in the Virginia House of Burgesse,representative at the sencond Continental Congress in 1775. The other reason why Thomas Jefferson was chosen is because of his educaton. In the 1700s lots a politician or even president didnt even have a high educaion such as Thomass Jefferson. When he was five he went to a latin school till he was 14. After he went to a school ran by Reverend James Maury. When Jefferson turuned 17 he went to William and Maury University for two years (1760-1762). After school he decided to studied and practice law with George Wythe. For those two reasons he was selected to draft it because he was articulate,smart and had the best writting.
