The fourth day of July is symbolic not only for the Americans but to the whole world as it was on this day, back in 1789 that the foundation of the greatest democracy of the world was laid. The American Revolution ended a couple of centuries of British rule over most of the North American colonies and laid the foundation of the present United States of America. After the Revolution, the constitution of the United States of America was drafted and ratified. On the anniversary of that day, the new nation declared its citizens rights to "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness". Today, the United States of America has established itself as the foremost superpower of the world.
God Bless America.
