The US Declaration of Independence was the model of many, many similar declarations.

Even Ho Chi Minh quoted the American Declaration in 1945.

The IDEAS espoused by America are still admired and copied, unfortunately even our own party's heroes did not live up to the ideals the country was founded upon. Words, ideas and a guiding light so powerful, and so obviously unobtainable by mere men that even we can not achieve them 250 years later, but that many of us here still try every day to live by.
