All colonies needed to adopt the Declaration of Independence because the founding fathers felt that only with the strength of all 13 colonies could they defeat the British.

In the event of a majority rule, or even a super-majority. some colonies would feel rather uneasy with declaring independence from the strongest military in the world, causing division among the colonies, and likely a failure in the war.
