What day was the declaration of independence submitted?
There is no exact date. In fact, it is not clear if anyone signed it on July 4, 1776, except that it does appear that at least John Hancock and Charles Thomson did sign it then. The Declaration was not signed at one time in a single body of men. Once the wording of the Declaration was agreed upon, it was handwritten and given to a printer. That version was signed by Hancock and Thomson. On July 19, 1776, Congress ordered that the document be "engrossed" and signed by all members of Congress. The engrossed document, the one on display in the National Archives, was not ready until August 2, 1776, when most members signed it. Several members were not there at the time and signed on various days afterward.
Why must students of history learn to evaluate historical sources?
Historical sources for records should always be evaluated because not all historical sources are equal in terms of accuracy or purpose. Sources fall into three basic categories: (1) sources that are indisputable; (2) sources that contain unintentional errors; and (3) sources that are deliberate falsehoods and have an ulterior purpose. Humans aren't perfect and it was common to make accidental mistakes when writing things down. If a historian uses sources, his unintentional errors can be remedied. Often, a writer could have had an ulterior motive in writing a record in a certain way. This happened frequently. What it means, is that a person may have had a hidden agenda while recording their version and deliberately left out information or actually made up information that seems to support what they have written. If they don't have sources, their writing should not be considered reliable. If their writing goes against the mainstream thought, their sources should be carefully analyzed to see if they should be given any weight. Thirdly, there are different kinds of sources. Some sources can be relied upon absolutely, like wills, and court records because they are, by their nature, factual and unbiased; while others, such as a written version of an oral history, aren't such good proof. To be able to write or talk about a historical event accurately, a student of history should always dig below the surface to verify information by looking at the number of sources, the quality of sources, and the type of source. A student of history cannot be taken seriously by others if he doesn't have good sources to support his position.
What year of the sovereignty of the US is 2009?
It would depend upon whether we include the unratified period of the Articles of Confederation (1777-1781) or date from the adoption or ratification of the Constitution (1787 and 1788 respectively). The longest figure would date from the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. That would make 203 years through 2009.
When was the Declaration of Independence written?
The Declaration of IndependenceThe Declaration of Independence was written in the summer of 1776 primarily by Thomas Jefferson, agreed upon on July 2 by the Second Continental Congress, sent to the printer on July 4, and all signatures were collected in the following weeks. Because not all delegates were present in Philadelphia at that time, the signing of the document took some time to complete. Most agree on the date August 2 as the official completion.
