250 años de la Independencia de los Estados Unidos

This year marks the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence, signed on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia. To understand the significance of this celebration, this episode takes us back to the 18th century—a century of intertwined revolutions, Enlightenment ideas that crossed the Atlantic, and Thirteen Colonies that aspired to become a single nation—to explore how various processes of reflection and political representation culminated in one of the foundational texts of modern democracy and the rule of law. We also analyze the legacies and contradictions present in the Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies.
