Economic Bill of Rights

The Economic Bill of Rights was a proposal by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944, aiming to ensure economic security for all Americans. It outlined rights such as a guaranteed job, fair wages, decent housing, adequate healthcare, and social security. The goal was to promote economic fairness, reduce poverty, and give everyone opportunities for a secure and decent life. While not officially enacted as law, it influenced later social programs and highlighted the government's role in supporting economic well-being for its citizens.
