He sent back an answer stating that any more talk of independence and he would hang them. Signing the document might as well have been siging their death sentence. King George III later sent soldiers to attack them which led to the battle of Concord and the Revolutionary War. It was brave to sign the constitution because of what was suppposed to happen. they gathered to ament the Articles of Confederation but threw it out to start over. Nothing of the sort was permitted through the Articles and as well they didnt know how the colonists would react. some people ressented them and some delegates didn't show up for fear of what might happen for creating a new government.
