Best Answer

The greater majority of the delegates did not sign until August 2, 1776. Only John Hancock and the Secretary of Congress, Charles Thomson signed it on July 4, 1776. Although Congress had decreed that all delegates sign it on August 2, there were still some delegates who did not sign it till later.
