Best Answer

John Hancock is probably one of the most famous of signatures on the Constitution. He wrote it so large according to many sources so that King George would be able to read it without the need to put on his spectacles and so that John Hancock's name would be easily recognizable as one of the founders of these Independent but United States of America.

To this day you may still hear people say to "put your John Hancock" right here meaning to add your signature to something.
