HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Tomorrow we celebrate the 233rd anniversary of the founding of our country. Our founding fathers designed a democracy intended to preserve the freedoms and liberties of its citizens and to endure.
 
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
 

 
The Declaration of Independence is one of the most important documents in the history of the United States. It signifies the colonies' break from Great Britain and the rule of King George III. The Second Continental Congress formed a committee to write the Declaration, but the Committee thought it would be better for only one person to write the document. It took Thomas Jefferson 17 days to write the Declaration of Independence, and on July 2, 1776, the Congress voted to declare independence from Great Britain. After two days of debate and some changes to the document, on July 4th, the Congress voted to accept the Declaration of Independence. This is why we celebrate July 4th as Independence Day. – from USA.gov:
