    I think you overestimate Franklin's role.
    Important? Yes, absolutely.
    Guiding hand and tutelage? No.
    Franklin and Adams, basically served as editor's of Jefferson's draft.

    Jefferson's draft was largely his .. Borrowed from his own, previous work; The Virginia Declaration of Rights, and other sources. It's why he was selected to write it in the first place.

    Franklin was hardly alone ... The committee was a few older guys: Adams, Sherman, Franklin and Livingston, who was in mid-40s.
