John Hancock, President of Congress, signed it on behalf of all. (Also signing, attesting to Hancock's signature, was Charles Thomson, Secretary of the Continental Congress [throughout its entire existence!].) The others waited until August 2 to begin signing the official "engrossed" copy once it was prepared & returned by the printer.
