It was dangerous because the men who helped produse the document were scared of comitting treason. Treason is something that people did back then to the King and disgrased there country. Some people were hung by their neck for comitting treason! OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The signing of the Declaration of Independence was a very dangerous act that could have cost the lives of every signatory. By signing the document, each person was committing treason against Great Brittan. It is important to know that until the end of the Revolutionary War, what became the United States was still part of the British Empire and the residents were British subjects.
The main risk of the creation of the Declaration, meaning the physical writing and signing of it by those that did, was that they could be charged with treason against Great Britain and King George III. If convicted of treason, they could be hanged. Another risk was that the act of declaring independence could give Great Britain the excuse to take complete control of all government functions of each colony. Up to that time, Britain had taken control of only Massachussetts. A further risk was that if the colonies became independent and no longer under the protection of the British Empire, they would be subject to attacks from other European powers like France and Spain, which had economic interests in America.
