Opposition to the Declaration of Independence primarily came from Loyalists, or Tories, who remained loyal to the British Crown. Many of these individuals believed that independence would lead to chaos and instability, preferring to maintain their allegiance to Britain for economic and political reasons. Additionally, some members of the Continental Congress were initially hesitant, fearing the repercussions of breaking away from Britain. However, the overwhelming desire for self-governance and resistance to British policies ultimately prevailed.

No, the United States and Britain did not sign the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration was adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and it was primarily authored by Thomas Jefferson as a declaration of the American colonies' intent to separate from British rule. Britain, at the time, was opposed to the Declaration, viewing it as an act of rebellion.
