The National Day of the United States of America, celebrated annually on July 4, marks the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Second Continental Congress in 1776, a document through which the 13 British colonies in North America proclaimed their independence from Great Britain and laid the foundations of the United States of America.

The Declaration of Independence, drafted primarily by Thomas Jefferson, enshrines the fundamental principles of the American state, affirming that all people are equal and possess full rights.
