独立宣言是一份非常重要而且有价值的文献
我在七年前就特别把美国独立宣言背下来
一方面是练习英文，二方面也是想体会美国开国元勋的精神意志
在7月4日美国的国庆日 重新检视这份文件 特别的有意义
对于关心自由的台湾人来说 美国式的民主一向被台湾人视作典范
当然更加应该深入的研究与学习
白宫也发表声明，祝贺独立宣言244周年
节录白宫声明的部分内容如下：
On this day in 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the United States Declaration of Independence in what is now known as Independence Hall in Philadelphia. In taking this historic step, the Congress proclaimed “these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States.” Today, we celebrate our Nation’s independence and the vision of our Founding Fathers revealed to the world on that fateful day, as well as the countless patriots who continue to ensure that the flames
of freedom are never extinguished.
The enduring commitment to the ideals of liberty and justice that have come to define our American spirit stem from our Nation’s founding. In declaring that our rights to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” should be safeguarded for posterity and that “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,” our Founding Fathers launched the American experiment that espoused freedom and democracy over tyranny and monarchy. Two hundred and
forty-four years later, the principles grounded in the Declaration of Independence continue to guide our Nation forward and maintain its standing as a beacon of liberty, prosperity, and opportunity for all.
Over the past months, the American spirit has undoubtedly been tested by many challenges. Yet, it is in the face of adversity that our country has had some of our proudest moments of triumph. Today, especially, we are reminded of the extraordinary feats that our Nation has accomplished since its founding nearly 250 years ago. Together, we must ensure that we live up to the ideals of our Declaration of Independence and do all that we can to protect and preserve the freedoms that make our country the
greatest in the world.
The First Lady and I wish each and every American a happy and blessed Fourth of July and proudly join you in celebrating our great Nation. May God bless the United States of America.
其中最应该关注的是“Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”正是最该捍卫的权利
这份声明非常的精准、而且妥善的陈述了美国人民的根本利益和共同愿望
而实践这些愿望的途径，是美国人民必须积极捍卫的价值
美国历史与美国价值 真的是非常的重要
努力捍卫这些价值 继续弘扬开国元勋们的理念
将自由的火炬传承下去
这是非常有意义的事
守护美国价值 守护美国历史
让自由的理念发扬光大
美国才会是一个伟大的国家
