THE Declaration of Independence! ... It was the first solemn declaration, by a nation, of the only legitimate foundation of civil government. It was the cornerstone of a new fabric, destined to cover the surface of the globe. It demolished at a stroke the lawfulness of all governments founded upon conquest... It announced in practical form to the world the transcendent truth of the inalienable sovereignty of the people.

A nation was born in a day.
--John Quincy Adams
