美国独立231周年2007-07-04 10:17:29 来源: 人民网(北京) 网友评论 12 条 进入论坛 1776年7月4日，殖民地代表通过了《独立宣言》，建立美利坚合众国。 美国位于北美洲南部，原是印第安人的聚居地。从15世纪末起，西班牙、荷兰、法国、英国开始向北美洲移民。17世纪到18世纪前半期，英国在北美大西洋沿岸建立了13个殖民地，并加强了对殖民地人民的压迫和剥削，激起了当地人民和新兴资产阶级的反抗。1775年，北美13个殖民地的人民开始掀起推翻英国殖民统治的独立战争，组成了"大陆军"，由乔治·华盛顿任总司令。1776年7月4日，殖民地代表在费城召开了第二次大陆会议，通过了《独立宣言》，正式宣布建立美利坚合众国。

《宣言》全文约2500字，分三个部分。第一部分阐明资产阶级革命的基本原则，提出了著名的人权原则，《宣言》指出：“人类生而平等，造物者赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利，其中包括生命权、自由权和追求幸福的权利”。第二部分谴责英国殖民当局的种种暴政。第三部分宣告13个殖民地独立，建立独立国家，断绝与英国的一切政治关系。《独立宣言》反映了北美殖民地人民争取自由独立的愿望，激发了美国人民的自信心和自豪感，极大地鼓舞了各阶层群众奋起参加独立战争。《独立宣言》对争取各国人民的同情和支持，推动后来的欧洲资产阶级革命，特别是法国大革命及法国的《人权宣言》都产生了积极的影响。

英文原文： THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE 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. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to the m shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Des potism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws of Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands . He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
