Answer 1

William Hooper, Joseph Hewes, and John Penn signed the Declaration of Independence on behalf of North Carolina.

Step-by-step explanation:

On behalf of North Carolina, three individuals signed the Declaration of Independence: William Hooper, Joseph Hewes, and John Penn. These signers were among the 56 delegates who courageously endorsed the document proclaiming the thirteen American colonies as independent from British rule. Thomas Jefferson, although a principal author of the Declaration, represented Virginia and not North Carolina.
