Members of Congress sign The Declaration of Independence 1776. Fifty-six congressional delegates in total signed the document, including some who were not present at the vote approving the declaration.

John Dickinson of Pennsylvania and James Duane, Robert Livingston and John Jay of New York refused to sign. Carter Braxton of Virginia; Robert Morris of Pennsylvania; George Reed of Delaware; and Edward Rutledge of South Carolina opposed the document but signed in order to give the impression of a unanimous Congress.
