It’s also called “The Fourth of July”, “The Glorious Fourth”, and “The Fourth”. You know the original "Declaration of Independence Text" is already 233 years old. Here is the Declaration of Independence text of 4th of July: Declaring Independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain on 4th, July 1776. For one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, its becomes necessary when in the course of human events and also to suppose with the powers of the earth, the divide and identical position to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a polite admiration to the opinions of human being needs that they should announce the reasons which force them to the division. All men are created the same, we keep these truths to be obvious that they are gifted by their creator with sure unalienable human rights, so as to between these are Life, Liberty and the chase of Pleasure. Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed is to secure these rights. It is the Right of the People to change or to close down it that whenever any Form of Government becomes critical of these ends, and to organization new Government, placing its base on such principles and systematizing its authorities in such form, as to them shall appear most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness. All having in straight object the institution of a complete Tyranny over these States is the history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained, and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies, without the consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
He has abdicated Government here by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of this Oppressions We have petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a hard trust on the safety of Divine fate, we equally promise to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor. Full text of the Constitution can be found Here. |
