Every one of the thirteen colonies voted in favor of the Declaration of Independence. Rhode Island did not send delegates to the Constitutional Convention, but did ratify it after it was finalized.

∙ 9y agoThe 56 men that met when Jefferson introduced the Declaration voted for it. The men in that room knew they were putting their lives and names on the line when they signed that paper. When they signed Ben Franklin stated " we will all hang together or we will hang separately ." The average age of the 56 signer was 44. The youngest was Edward Rutledge at 26 and the oldest was Ben Franklin at 70. Most of the 56 signers were very wealthy men. Some lost their lives, five were arrested by the British as traitors, 12 had their homes looted and burned, 2 lost sons in the war, 17 lost their fortunes. Nine fought and died in the war. So, it wasn't the colonies that voted for it but the 56 men who represented their colony.
