Note: this is copy and pasted from another source... Eleanor Roosevelt establishes credibility by building her speech on the very reason so many audiences around the world deem her a credible source. Her speech discussed the pressing issue of human rights. Her prior credibility, intelligence, and goodwill established a foundation for which the audience to trust. Her prior credibility assured the audience that she shared similar values of freedom and democracy. She also demonstrated her value of universal human rights through using these terms in a “we” sense versus the “I” sense.

Similarly, when the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were written, the Declaration of Independence served as the charter or the purpose document, and the U.S. Constitution served as the bylaw, or the organizational document. The Constitution “serves” the principles in the Declaration of Independence. Now that you have some background knowledge of these two documents, we can talk about the similarities between them. In the Declaration, we have these very famous words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”(Declaration of Independence).’’ So here in the Declaration we have a statement of core principals and beliefs. Then the Constitution in turn serves that role as in organizational document and has this statement in the beginning: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common
The Geneva Conventions The Geneva Convention is the core of international humanitarian law and it tries to limit the effects and aftermath of war. The Geneva Convention protects people who do not have any part of the war or do not participate in the hostilities which includes prisoners of war, wounded troops and civilians. The Geneva Convention come with protocols which have been developed through time.

Communism vs. Democracy The Bill of Rights was written by the colonists in order to protect the rights of the new Americans. Today, we still enjoy the freedom that the Bill of Rights created. The three amendments that I am going to right about allow for all the citizens to live freely and comfortably in this country. They are: the first amendment, freedom of speech, press, religion and petition, the fourth amendment which regulates search and seizure, and the six amendment, which provides the right to a speedy trial with witnesses. Under the Bill of Rights of our Constitution, Americans are given basic human rights which cannot be taken away.
The Bill of Rights makes sure the government understands that they cannot violate people’s rights of liberty and privileges. The Anti-Federalists views proved to be true to this current day, as the Bill of Rights is in the Constitution, and it limits the power of the U.S. federal government and protects the natural rights, liberty, and property of
Alexander Hamilton thought that the judiciary review was the important factor of the checks and balance system and necessary citadel for protecting the public justice. He thinks the general liberty is the most important thing when considering the constitutional framework. Hamilton disagrees with the legislative branch exceeding its power as despotism but accepts the power of jurisdiction as a way to protect people, which is the more important. However, for Chief Justice Marshall, the judicial review was not a way to protect the people. It was a tool for political movements and to gain authority of the judicial branch.
The Monroe Doctrine of 1823 remains to have significant influence across every nation. Sovereigns upon this international stage have adopted this political order as part of their foreign policy. Initially established by President James Monroe, it has become a longstanding presence within the United States foreign policy over the years. The original purpose of the Monroe Doctrine was to secure the “continents” of the United States from outside threats; more importantly, from any further advancement of the European nation. As a young nation maturing into a respected power, the United States, a spectator society as it were, would ideally police and protect their “brethren republics” of Latin America and other nations within the Western
Independence As a human being in this world there are certain rights that can not and should not be taken from us. Jefferson defines those rights of a citizen as “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”(Jefferson 78). When those freedoms are threatened we wont just watch them be taken from us we will stand together and fight for the rights god has given us.
