Deklarasi Kemerdekaan Amerika Serikat

Dokumen Deklarasi Kemerdekaan Amerika Serikat

Deklarasi Kemerdekaan adalah suatu akta dari Kongres Kontinental Kedua yang diadopsi pada 4 Juli 1776 yang menyatakan bahwa Tiga Belas Koloni memerdekakan diri dari Britania Raya. Deklarasi ini, yang sebagian besar ditulis oleh Thomas Jefferson, menjelaskan pembenaran atau justifikasi untuk melepaskan diri, dan merupakan pengembangan dari Resolusi Lee tertanggal 2 Juli yang untuk pertama kalinya menyatakan kemerdekaan AS. Salinan deklarasi ini ditandatangani oleh para delegasi pada 2 Agustus dan saat ini dipamerkan di National Archives and Records Administration di Washington, D.C. Deklarasi ini dianggap sebagai salah satu dokumen pendirian Amerika Serikat dan tanggal 4 Juli dirayakan sebagai Hari Kemerdekaan.

Publikasi dan reaksi

Lukisan Johannes Adam Simon Oertel Pulling Down the Statue of King George III, N.Y.C. (bahasa Indonesia: Merobohkan Patung Raja George III), sekitar 1859, menggambarkan warga menghancurkan patung Raja George setelah Deklarasi dibacakan di Kota New York pada 9 Juli 1776.

Setelah Kongres menyetujui kata-kata akhir Deklarasi pada 4 Juli, salinan tulisan tangan itu dikirim beberapa blok ke percetakan John Dunlap. Sepanjang malam, Dunlap mencetak sekitar 200 selebaran untuk distribusi. Tak lama, Deklarasi dibacakan kepada khalayak dan dicetak ulang di koran-koran di seluruh 13 negara bagian. Pembacaan publik resmi pertama dari dokumen tersebut adalah John Nixon dihalaman Balai Kemerdekaan pada 8 Juli; pembacaan publik juga terjadi pada hari itu di Trenton, New Jersey dan Easton, Pennsylvania.[1] Terjemahannya dalam Bahasa Jerman diterbitkan di Philadelphia pada 9 Juli.[2]

Presiden Kongres John Hancock mengirim selebaran kepada Jenderal George Washington, mengintruksikan kepadanya untuk berproklamasi "kepada Kepala Angkatan Darat dengan cara itu, kamu harus memikirkannya dengan yang paling tepat".[3] Washington melakukan pembacaan Deklarasi tersebut kepada pasukannya di Kota New York pada 9 Juli, dengan pasukan Inggris yang tidak jauh darinya. Washington dan Kongres berharap Deklarasi akan menginspirasi para prajurit, dan mendorong orang lain untuk masuk tentara.[1]

William Whipple, penanda tangan Deklarasi Kemerdekaan.
