Question

Which phrase best describes why Roosevelt lists the four freedoms?

to describe by example the foundations of a safe, moral world

to present a timeline of events

to explain America’s need to disarm
Part B
Which phrase from this section best supports your answer to Part A?

“. . . a world founded upon four essential freedoms”

“. . . a worldwide reduction in armaments”

“. . . no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression…”

“. . . which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings…”


In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.

The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.

The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.

The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.

The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.

That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation.
