Happy 4th of July! In the Declaration of Independence, our nation's Founders forged a new country based on individual rights and equality. In celebration of July Fourth, citizens, attorneys and federal judges from across the country reflect on what independence means, and how the U.S. courts protect their freedoms. In a brief video, participants from Washington, New York City and San Francisco also share their thoughts on two key phrases from the Declaration of Independence: "All men are created equal," and "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
