In 1775, Hancock was a delegate to the Second Continental Congress. As the presiding officer, he was the first to sign the Declaration of Independence. After signing the document in an clearly identifiable fashion, he said, "The British ministry can read that name without spectacles; let them double their reward."

Hancock's historical importance rests on his leadership of Massachusetts before, during, and after the Revolution. He is best known for his large bold signature on the Declaration of Independence, though. He was one of Boston's richest men and he aligned himself with Samuel Adams and the opposition to the Stamp Act. When his sloop Liberty was seized for smuggling during the opposition to the Townshed Acts in 1768 he became a figurehead to resistance to the British. He was a chief financial backer of a Patriot group and in 1774 he gave a speech on the Boston Massacre ( 1770). When British troops marched to Lexington and Concord in April of 1775 one of their missions was to capture Hancock as well as Samuel Adams. He was sent to the Second Continental Congress, he spent two years in Baltimore and Philadelphia to supply American forces and creating a navy. In 1780 he was elected the first governor of Mass under its new Constitution and was then reelected several times. When it came time to ratify the new US constitution he took a critical role and urged it be ratified. When he died at the age of 56 he was the foremost leader of Mass.

"John Hancock" is presumably the problematic term in that phrase, the rest of it is pretty straightforward.

"John Hancock" is slang for "signature", coming from the very prominent signature of John Hancock on the US Declaration of Independence.

The John Hancock Life Insurance company had a commercial jingle featuring the line "put your John Hancock on the John Hancock".

Perhaps because we know so little about Hancock the man, we've invented legends about him to explain how his name came to be front and center on the Declaration of Independence, the largest and clearest signature on the document, smack in the middle of the top row. It was an act of defiance, we've decided - a bold stroke by a bold man who challenged the British to come and get him, and who by so doing instilled confidence and courage in the colonial delegates who followed his lead and affixed their names to the Declaration as well, even though they risked being hanged for treason by doing so.

because he said that when king George can read it even without his glasses worn.

We was a Federalist

Because you let him.

The answer is 13 masons signed the declaration of independence.
