Today we party for one of the most important political documents in human history, the blueprint for the United States of America. By action of Second Continental Congress, July 4, 1776, the unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America: ... 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 Constitution and Bill of Rights are its magnificent embodiment and the architecture of the nation.

I refer every year to a classical revolutionary speech in order to properly commemorate and celebrate Independence Day: Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
— Patrick Henry (Son of Thunder)
