John Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence first to demonstrate his strong support for the cause of American independence from Britain. His bold signature, which is notably large and prominent, symbolized his willingness to take a stand and lead by example. Hancock's position as the President of the Continental Congress at the time also gave him the authority to sign first, making a statement of unity and determination among the colonies.
