Independent Hall - World Cultural Heritage in America

The independent hall is the main part of Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia. This place is known as the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence of the United States , and is also the place to discuss and ratify the US Constitution .

In the history of the United States, Philadelphia played a key role because it was the origin of revolution that led to independence. In which the Independence Hall is one of the important witnesses of this process. At the Independence Hall, the official meeting of the Continental Conference II took place from 1775 to 1783, and it was also the venue for the United States Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787.

From 1775 to 1783, this Pennsylvania State Building was the site of the Continental Conference II , a meeting of representatives from 13 different British colonies in North America. On June 14, 1775, at the Council Room of the Pennsylvania State Building, delegates of the Conference nominated George Washington as commander of the Continental Army. Congress also appointed Benjamin Franklin as the first Minister. The Declaration of Independence was ratified on July 4, 1776 and was read at a place that later became Independent Square. This document declared a break from Britain by 13 North American colonies. Since then, July 4 became the Independence Day of the United States.

Later, in September 1786, commissioners from five different states met at the Annapolis Conference to discuss the adjustment of the Articles of Confederation to help improve trade. They invited state representatives to Pennsylvania to discuss ways to improve the federal government. After debate, the National Assembly approved the amendment of the Articles of Confederation on February 21, 1787. The 12 states, except Rhode Island, are the exception, accepting this invitation and sending delegates there in June 1787 at the Independence Hall. The resolution called on the Conference to propose amendments to the Terms but the Conference again proposed to rewrite the Constitution. The Constitutional Convention lasted for a summer and during that time the Hall windows were always closed. The latter result is the establishment of a new base of a basic government. On September 17, 1787, the Constitution was completed, and took effect from March 4, 1789.
