Explanation:
[STC0014359]. It took some time to put the Declaration of Independence into action after it was adopted on July 4, 1776, thus it wasn’t signed until August 2. After being authorized by the state assemblies and conventions, as well as the committees of safety and commanding officers of the Continental armies, copies of the Declaration were produced and distributed on July 5. After two weeks, Congress had the document engrossed, which means it was written in a very large hand on parchment. Two weeks later, on August 2, John Hancock and the other delegates to the Continental Congress signed the engrossed copy.
