The Declaration of Independence
John Hancock is perhaps best known for his large and ornate signature on the Declaration of Independence. He was the first to sign the Declaration, as he was the president of the Continental Congress, the body that constructed the Declaration, at the time it was approved and adopted. He is supposed to have declared, after signing his name, "There, I suppose King George will be able to read that!" but this claim is unverified.
The words "John Hancock" are often used to describe the word "signature." When J. Hancock singed the Declaration of Independence, his was the largest sig. of them all. Hancock is best-remembered for his giant signature on the document, so that is why a signature is often called a "John Hancock."
