Stating that Benjamin Franklin was "one of the most famous founding fathers" seems superfluous. Stating that Roger Sherman was the "only person to sign all four documents.." is immediately stated in the link to Roger Sherman and therefore seems unnecessary to put here. It closely paraphrases as well. Ron Q Craig ( talk) 20:41, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
