Venezuelan Declaration of Independence
By means of the signing of the Venezuelan Declaration of Independence on July 5, 1811, Venezuelans of the time took the decision, supported by several politicians, of breaking away from the Kingdom of Spain and to build a new nation to split the premises of equality between individuals, abolition of censorship and dedication to the freedom of expression as a constitutional principal, premises that are radically opposed to the political, cultural, and social practices that had ruled during three hundred years before.
