A.  the United States

Explanation:

The British colonies that became independent from Britain built the first liberal and democratic political system, lighting a new nation, the United States of America, incorporating the new revolutionary ideas that advocated equality and freedom. This colonial society was formed from waves of immigrant settlers and there were no characteristic features of the rigid European state system.

Tensions between the settlers and the British during the 1760s and 1770s led to the War of Independence, which lasted from 1775 to 1781. On June 14, 1775, the Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, established a Continental Army under the command of George Washington. Proclaiming that "all men are born equal" and endowed with "certain inalienable rights," Congress approved the Declaration of Independence, drafted largely by Thomas Jefferson, on July 4, 1776. Annually, on this date the Day is celebrated of the Independence of the United States. Thus, the United States became the first nation from the Americas to declare its independence.
