On July 4th, 1776, the Second Continental Congress officially approved

the Declaration of Independence. The 56 men who signed "the Declaration"
put their lives on the line, knowing that they would be hanged for treason if Great Britain prevailed. Yet, they did it anyway. Considering this, what must it take for people to join a revolution? Why do people choose to revolt?

There can be many different reasons why people choose to join a revolution. Some people may be motivated by a desire for change, and see revolution as the only way to achieve it. Others may be motivated by a sense of injustice or oppression, and feel that they have no other choice but to take up arms against their rulers. Still others may be motivated by a desire for personal or group gain, such as power or wealth. Ultimately, the decision to join a revolution is a personal one, and can be influenced by a wide range of factors.
