Answer:

July 4, 1776 or August 2, 1776

Step-by-step explanation:

Even thought if you search on the web it say July 4 1776 it wasn't sign until August 2, 1776. On August 2, 1776, Congress members signed the declaration. Not every man who had been present on July 4 signed the declaration on August 2. Two important officials passed up the chance to sign and others were added later. The first and largest signature was that of the president of the Congress, John Hancock.
