During the American Revolution, the legal separation of the thirteen colonies from Great Britain in 1776 actually occurred on July 2, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia declaring the United States independent from Great Britain's rule.

July 2 was the day the Declaration was adopted but the 4th was the day it was published and first signatures were attached to it. John Adams thought July 2 would be marked as a national holiday for generations to come. The late historian Pauline Maier also said that arguments over the how to celebrate the Declaration arose between the Federalists (of John Adams) and the Republicans (of Thomas Jefferson) and that the Declaration and its anniversary day weren’t widely celebrated until the Federalists faded away from the political scene after 1812. Jefferson and Adams both passed away two days later, on the Fourth of July, 1826.
When is the real Independence Day: July 2 or July 4?

(Non) compos mentis:

The Latin expression compos mentis literally means "master of (one's) own mind". It is used to express that one is "in possession" of one's mental capacities.

The word Latin word compos (perhaps derived from the adjective indeclinable potis, 'capable', 'he who can') is generally used with the genitive of that which the subject is in possession of: the mind (mentis), the soul (animi), the self (sui).

In today's speech, and especially in the field of law, the expression is used with the negation 'non compos mentis' to indicate a person who is insane or who is in defect of his full mental capacities and, therefore, cannot be held responsible for his actions.
