And with this slogan the greatest country in the world was founded "No taxation without representation" (often shortened to "taxation without representation") is a political slogan that originated in the American Revolution and which expressed one of the primary grievances of the American colonists for Great Britain. A shinning city on the hill. In what other country were the words Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness enshrined. "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" is a well-known phrase from the United States Declaration of Independence. The phrase gives three examples of the unalienable rights which the Declaration says have been given to all humans by their Creator, and which governments are created to protect. The Gold Standard of governments which other nations should aspire to.

How to Read the Declaration of Independence

𝐎𝐧 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟐, 𝟏𝟕𝟕𝟔, 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞! 🇺🇸 On July 2, 1776, the thirteen American colonies’ burgeoning fight for liberty took a turn. As all 56 delegates to the Second Continental Congress signed the “Resolution for Independence, ” an idea proposed by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, the thirteen colonies officially broke from the rule of the British crown and declared themselves to be free and independent states. What would become the long, hard, grueling seven year war for independence from Britain had begun in earnest. Since the conclusion of the French and Indian War on February 10, 1763, tensions between the colonies and Britain had been escalating, fueled by issues of taxation – the Stamp Act (1765) and the Sugar Act (1764)– and a lack of representation in the British Parliament. Events like the Boston Tea Party (December 16, 1773) and the Battles of Lexington and Concord (April 19, 1775) solidified the colonists' desire for self-governance. Thomas Paine's pamphlet, “Common Sense," published on January 10, 1776, further ignited the flames of independence, urging colonists to throw off the shackles of the British monarchy. At the urging of Lee, The Second Continental Congress responded on June 7, 1776, appointing a committee to draft a Resolution of Independence. On July 2nd it was passed. And, on July 4th, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence, its explanation to colonists as to why it voted to declare American independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. The Declaration of Independence laid out what in 1776, around the world, was a radical idea for government – one based, not on a king, but on the rule of law – and declared a new relationship between citizens and their government, a vision the US is still struggling to manifest. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men [people] 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 [people], deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” Make the vision of the Declaration of Independence a reality for all people in the US.

Independence Day... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Every year, on 15th August, we celebrate our independence day, because, we got independence from foreign rule on that very day in 1947. Yes, we are independent from foreign rule. But are we, truly, independent? We are independent from foreign rule, but, we are slave to a corrupt and faulty system which is controlled by a handful of influential persons who... When will we become 'truly' independent?? #justiceformoumita #justiceformoumitadebnath #independence #marketingconcepts

Are we independent? What are we celebrating? "Happy Independence Day" You complained the whole year about: →Inflation →Struggling economy →No jobs And on 14th August, the deep love for the country inspires you to go out and: →Make annoying noise →Break the rules →Block the roads Why don't try to improve its infrastructure as the country is struggling and the people living in it never let go of a chance to ruin it? →Everyone being patriotic would leave the country as soon they get a chance. 😅 If you love this country, then why: ↳You are being so selfish for yourself? ↳Why don't you fight for your rights? ↳Your morals and ethics are only limited to your own house? This country is running on a huge debt! There are various internet problems! Your politicians are just puppets! People never leave a chance of corruption! Your passport has no global respect! I am sorry if I hurt your emotions. A post reminding the harsh reality is needed sometimes along with motivating and celebrating content. 📌 Feel free to disagree with me in the comments section!

It’s a big day … independence all around. A chance to vote here in the UK and put our energy behind a change so many of us passionately believe in and independence day celebrations in the US. Wherever you are, I hope you’re celebrating the freedom of choice. Yes, the US and UK political systems we have are in need of modernisation. Yes, the candidates in front of us are far from ideal, and the choice feels far from perfect. But we live in an era and in a part of the world where we have a voice. We are encouraged to be part of civil society. And everyday people have hundreds of formal and informal ways in which they can take part - all without fear of persecution. The power to change, especially at a local level, is enormous. We have power not just in the mark we make on our ballot, we have power in how we lead, how we spend our time, and how we spend our influence. Here’s to using that power today, and every other day.

As we prepare to celebrate our Independence Day, it is important to remember what we are celebrating.   July 4th, 1776 was not the day of some final battle. It was not the day the Constitution was ratified. This day we hold in such reverence is NOT the day we became free of the British Empire. THAT day would still be years in the future.   No folks, July 4th, 1776, is the day we DECIDED to be free of the British Empire.   On July 4th 2024, we are celebrating a Decision.   I find it fascinating that of all the momentous events we might commemorate and identify as the very first day of our country we did not choose a victory, a surrender or a governmental action. The single most important day in the formation of this great nation was simply the day we committed, IN WRITING, to do it.   Folks, this is true of the things you and I want to achieve as well. Things do not begin with the first action step. Things begin with a decision, and then a plan. Only then will your efforts produce value.   After our holiday we will go back to work. We will face important decisions there too. What if we decided to make Friday, July the 5th 2024 the day our most important goals began to be achieved?   What if we DECIDE to make today our own Independence Day?   It just might change everything.

🇺🇸Happy Independence Day🇺🇸 Lest we forget.. Every year on July 4th, Americans come together to celebrate Independence Day, marking the birth of the nation. This date commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, a pivotal moment that set the United States on a path to becoming a beacon of freedom and democracy for the world. As Americans celebrate Independence Day, they honor the sacrifices of those who fought for their freedom and reflect on the enduring values that make America exceptional. July 4th is more than a historical milestone; it is a reminder of the nation’s role as a beacon of hope and an example of what a free society can achieve. In a world where many still struggle to realize the vision of their founders, America’s story is a testament to the power of the human spirit and the enduring quest for liberty. The United States, with its unwavering commitment to freedom and democracy, stands as a shining example for all who aspire to these noble ideals. #July4th #freedom #celebration #Independenceday #blessed

 NASTY NIGEL Farage’s critics have only themselves to blame For many in the political centre, says Matthew Syed in The Sunday Times, there’s an easy way to explain the popularity of Nigel Farage: “bigotry, racism and gullibility on the fringes of polite society”. Alastair Campbell says the Reform leader is a “dangerous demagogue”; Tory peer Daniel Finkelstein says he promises only “chaos”. Permit me to offer a different interpretation of the man who has “exerted more influence on British politics than anyone else” over the past two decades. Farage draws his power not principally from racism, but from the lies of the very people who now castigate him about the issue he has made his own: immigration.  Set aside whether mass immigration is good or bad. If you go back through the main party manifestos during the period of Farage’s rise, you’ll find “lie after lie”. In 1997, Tony Blair promised “firm control… properly enforced”, then presided over an intake of 633,000 between 1998 and 2001. In 2005 he said “only skilled workers” would be allowed to remain; net migration subsequently reached over a quarter of a million. As for the Tories, they promised to cut net migration to the tens of thousands in their manifestos in 2010, 2015 and 2017. What happened? The figure rose to an average of 300,000 a year, with increases of around 700,000 in each of the past two years. Whatever you think of this inflow, there is no denying it has “altered the complexion of the UK” in ways that will echo “decades – perhaps centuries – into the future”. Farage is certainly a “dangerous figure”. But it was the advocates of the “liberal” consensus who created the conditions for populism. Future historians will regard them as “arsonists who took a match to the collective trust on which we all rely”.
