A friendly audience would have likely reacted to the Declaration of Independence with enthusiasm and support, celebrating the ideals of freedom and self-governance it espoused. They would have seen it as a bold and necessary step toward liberation from British rule. Conversely, a hostile audience, particularly loyalists, would have reacted with anger and resistance, viewing the declaration as a treasonous act that threatened their loyalty to the Crown and the stability of colonial society. Their response could have involved protests or efforts to suppress the revolutionary sentiments expressed in the document.
