The "Four Freedoms" were four fundamental freedoms outlined by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his 1941 State of the Union Address. They include freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.
Imagine these four freedoms as pillars holding up a strong democracy building - without any one of them, our democratic structure would be weakened.
First Amendment: Guarantees freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights: An international document adopted by the United Nations that outlines fundamental human rights including many similar to FDR's Four Freedoms.
Civil Liberties: Basic individual rights protected by law from government interference or infringement.
