Declaration of Independence Reaffirmation Act of 2026

The "Declaration of Independence Reaffirmation Act of 2026" aims to formally reaffirm the Declaration of Independence as an Organic Law of the United States . This legislative action is proposed in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, emphasizing the Declaration's foundational role. The bill asserts that the Declaration serves as the enduring charter of American independence, national sovereignty, natural rights, equal citizenship, and government by consent. Congress includes several findings, acknowledging the Declaration's adoption in 1776, its proclamation of free and independent States, and its articulation of unalienable rights and government by consent. These findings underscore the Declaration's recognition among the Organic Laws and its complementary relationship with the Constitution in establishing a political order where the people are sovereign. To solidify its purpose, the Act explicitly sets forth the complete text of the Declaration of Independence within its provisions.
