The Signing of the Declaration of Independence
On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document declaring the thirteen American colonies free and independent from British rule. Drafted by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration was a bold assertion of self-governance, inspired by Enlightenment ideals of liberty and the natural rights of individuals.
The move for independence was driven by years of increasing tensions between the colonies and the British Crown. Events such as the Stamp Act, the Boston Massacre, and the Intolerable Acts galvanized colonial resistance. The Continental Congress convened to debate the future of the colonies, and on June 11, 1776, a committee was formed to draft a declaration. The final document was presented to Congress on July 2 and, after two days of revisions and debate, was formally adopted on July 4.
The Declaration outlined grievances against King George III, including taxation without representation, the dissolution of colonial legislatures, and maintaining standing armies in peacetime without consent. It concluded with the colonies proclaiming themselves as "free and independent states" with no allegiance to the British Crown.
The Declaration of Independence was not just a statement of intent but also a call to unity among the colonies and an appeal for international recognition. It remains one of the most important documents in American history, symbolizing the ideals of freedom and democracy.
When was the Declaration of Independence officially adopted?
June 11, 1776
July 2, 1776
July 4, 1776
August 2, 1776
