US EditionLorenc: We celebrate America’s freedoms on July 4th, not Britain's
- On July 4, 2025, Americans celebrate Independence Day to mark their nation’s break from British monarchy and commitment to elected leadership.
- The celebration originates from the 1776 Declaration of Independence, which detailed King George III’s abuses and emphasized power vested in the people.
- Early festivities included burning king effigies and mock funerals to reject hereditary rule, while presidents like George Washington stepped down after two terms.
- The U.S. Constitution established checks and balances requiring Senate approval and limiting executive power, contrasting with hereditary monarchies still existing under King Charles III.
- This enduring system assures presidents remain temporary elected officials subject to accountability, reflecting a resilience amid challenges to liberties in modern American life.
