Why did everyone sign the declaration of independence?

They signed the declaration of independence because it was a sign of respect. It was something like a law that everyone had to go by and the people who had something to do with the declaration signed it. The Declaration of Independence was finished on July 2 by Thomas Jefferson. But they had to do a look over n they make some corrections to it. Benjamin Franklin did most of the editing because he was a editor and a publisher. The Declaration of Independence was all good on July 4. That is now Independence Day. It also kept the U.S.A. independent from Britain. None of the 56 delegates that signed the Declaration of Independence knew that it would be as big as it is today. It is a big part of out history.
