U.S. Government Day 12 Reading: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Yesterday we looked at our own Bill of Rights.

Today we'll finish looking at them, and then start to look at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as laid out by the United Nations in 1948.

We'll look at the differences between the two, and I'll ask students whether or not they agree: are what the United Nations laid out actually rights, or are they something else?

We'll finish this up tomorrow:  The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.


I'm also adding in FDR's 1941 State of the Union Address (Four Freedoms).  We probably won't get to that until tomorrow.
