The four most known declarations of human rights; are the English, American, French and United Nations’. These declarations are in focus, when different people have been taken up with contributing to, that communities shall develop in a more fair and proper way. The declarations influence the humans to think about why they were written, what they are about, and what their aims are. These four declarations have weight in the history.

Here are how the four declarations begin.

English Bill of Rights of 1689:

An explanatory paraphrase: “The king cannot suspend or create laws without the consent of parliament.”

The American Declaration of Independence of 1776:

“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.”

The French Declaration of the rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789:

“Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions can be founded only on the common good.”

United Nations’; Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948:

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”
