Things like the constitutions of various countries, especially the United States, these only applied to those countries. But now there was an attempt to write down, to codify something that would apply to all human beings, to the entire planet. And here's just some of the 30 articles to that declaration, to that Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 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. This really feels similar to some of the ideas of Locke in the Enlightenment that we talk about in other videos. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this declaration without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political, or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status.
