The Fourth of July marks 225 years since the Declaration of Independence. It frames government as deriving just powers from the consent of the governed and defines unalienable rights of liberty and equality. The text outlines Jefferson's aim to express the American mind and justifies independence by a history of grievances against King George III.
Fifty six delegates from the original colonies signed the Declaration. The article lists signers by colony, noting ages from 27 to 70, occupations, military service, losses during the war, and later political roles including governors and federal judges. It cites sources for the biographical details.
