If not, I claim Colorado and all it's serfs.

There is no Declaration of Independence to ratify. They did however adopt the Unanimous Declaration on July 4, 1776 and signed it on August 2. This was done by the 13 colonies who sent representatives to the 2nd Continental Congress. The Second Continental Congress was a body of representatives appointed by the legislatures of several British North American colonies which met from May 10, 1775, to March 1, 1781.

The Declaration of Independence is not a governing instrument. It is a setting out of the reasons that the Thirteen Colonies in North American were rebelling against the authority King of England. The Constitution is a governing instrument and requires a vote to ratify and change the document because it is called for in it's articles. Each state ratifies the Constitution before acceptance into statehood. Read those documents someday you'll learn something.

I believe the Second Continental Congress approved it, but never signed it.
