History
How many people signed the Declaration of Independence?
56 people
Background
On 4 July 1776 the 13 colonies in Philadelphia declared their freedom from England. Most of the 56 signers were lawyers, merchants, or farmers. John Hancock wrote his name extra large so the king could read it easily. That was brave, because all of them risked their lives.
