United States marks 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence
The United States is marking the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence this weekend. The document's principles — that governments derive power from the consent of the governed and that all people have rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — have inspired democratic movements worldwide. Commentator Curtis Young describes the moment as America facing a "difficult moment in the mirror."
