Lorenc: We celebrate America’s freedoms on July 4th, not Britain's

UNITED STATES, JUL 3 – July 4th honors the U.S. Constitution and liberty, contrasting with British monarchy's hereditary rule and limited checks on power, experts say.

  • Americans celebrate July 4th to reject monarchy, recalling their Declaration of Independence against King George III's tyranny in 1776.
  • This celebration follows a history where presidents like George Washington stepped down voluntarily, unlike kings who rule by heredity.
  • The U.S. Constitution created checks and balances that limit presidential power, requiring Senate approval for treaties and appointments.
  • In his Gettysburg Address, President Lincoln emphasized that the United States is a democracy created and maintained through the involvement and authority of its citizens, underscoring core principles of self-governance.
  • The July 4th holiday underscores the ongoing American effort to uphold liberty and prevent unchecked power, contrasting with the British monarchy and modern repression.
