Today, the United States marks 250 years since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence—a milestone known as the "semiquincentennial." This anniversary commemorates 1776, when the Declaration articulated the idea that a nation could be defined by shared principles rather than inherited rule. Two and a half centuries later, this date is marked not only as an anniversary but also as an opportunity to reflect on the nation"s long and evolving story.
