Happy Independence Day! Every once in a while, one should read this nation's founding documents. On our nation's 239th birthday, Bruins Nation has decided to reprint the Declaration of Independence in its entirety. We encourage you to read what the Founders wrote 239 years ago. Let freedom ring!
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
