This article is currently entitled "Lee Resolution". Having "resolution" capitalized indicates that this term is recognized as a proper noun, but I don't think I've ever seen the phrase used that way in any scholarly work on the Declaration of Independence or the Continental Congress (i.e. books by Wills, Rakove, Jensen, Maier, Becker, Boyd, Dumbauld, Burnett, Hazelton, and Friedenwald). "Lee Resolution" does show up on some websites, and does get some Google Book hits, mostly it seems from juvenile nonfiction books. Among more scholarly works, "Lee resolution" (small "r"), the "Lee resolution for independence", and "Lee's resolution" seem prevalent in versions that use Lee's name, but I think a Google Book search shows that the most common term is simply the "resolution of independence". Probably the article should be moved to the title "resolution of independence", but before such a move, your comments are encouraged. — Kevin Myers 08:26, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone know what the numbers toward the bottom could possibly represent? Also, has anyone noticed that Thomson was off by 20? — Music Maker 5376 16:00, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
The document currently shown the article is probably the most important one: the resolution in the handwriting of Charles Thomson, with the voting checklist in the hand of John Hancock. There's another document we might want to add at some point: the original three resolutions in the handwriting of RH Lee, which he presented to Congress. It can be seen here. — Kevin Myers 10:53, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
