Why did the continental congress issue the Declaration of Independence?
Moderates in the Congress still hoped that the colonies could be reconciled with Great Britain, but a movement towards independence steadily gained ground.

What did most of the delegates to the second continental congress want at first?
At first, most delegates simply wanted to reconcile their relationship with England and stay within the British Empire, just not subject to British control. Prior to adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the Congress adopted what is now called "The Olive Branch Petition." This was a letter to King George offering to stop rebellious activities if his and Parliament's harsh treatment of the colonies ceased. King George refused to receive it, because actual hostilites had broken out already and the King felt the colonies were committing treason. The delegates then became resigned that nothing short of outright independence from England was acceptable. Later on it was King George's turn to offer the colonies almost anything they wanted except outright independence if they would stop the war. Now it was America's turn to refuse the King's offer. By then, events in the war had gone too far and the colonies would never reconcile with England.
