They identify people who were important in colonial government, and they identify people who supported rebellion.

Explanation: The signers were colonial leaders and delegates (useful for studying who held power) and they explicitly endorsed independence (rebellion). The signatures do not indicate Loyalists (those sided with Britain) or supporters of “absolute tyranny.”
