FDR's Four Freedoms

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms, articulated in his 1941 State of the Union address, outline essential human rights: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear. Freedom of Speech ensures individuals can express their opinions freely. Freedom of Worship guarantees the right to practice any religion. Freedom from Want advocates for economic stability and adequate living standards, aiming to eliminate poverty and hunger. Freedom from Fear seeks global security by reducing armaments and conflict. These principles emphasize the importance of individual liberties and social justice in promoting a fair and democratic society.
