The Declaration of Independence, adopted on July 4, 1776, articulates America's foundational beliefs in democracy. It asserts the principles of individual rights, government by consent, and the pursuit of happiness. This document emphasizes that all men are created equal and have the right to alter or abolish a government that becomes destructive to these ends. It laid the groundwork for democratic ideals that would shape the nation's identity.

Which document stated America's beliefs of democracy?

There isn't one. The founders hated democracy. We have a semblance of democracy in our voting system, but that's it. This is good. America is a republic bound by the rule of law, that is to say, a person's life, liberty, and property must be preserved if it was rightfully attained. If 99.9% of the people think that Joe the Plummer doesn't deserve his house, and doesn't deserve to live the mob-rule mentality would win in a democracy. In a Republic, the rights of the individual win out over the desire of the majority.
