the necessity of rights 1

Learning Objective: Through intensive thinking analysis of selected Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, we learn that a republic cannot exist without the protection and promotion of rights.

Analyze these three documents: The U.S. Constitution (1787), France’s Declarations of Man and Citizen (1789), and the United Nation’s The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). Consider the rights that are common to all three documents. Notice that not all rights appear in all three papers. Compose an essay in which you compare and contrast the rights found in the documents and make a case for the three rights, that are found in all three documents, that you consider most important.

Each Assignment requires:

  • 600 words min
  • double spaced
  • a thesis statement,
  • an APA style bibliography,
  • use of APA style in-line citations, and
  • adherence to the 3+1 Rule.

The 3+1 Rule requires students to use a minimum of three assigned readings from the current week and one from a previous week. This rule encourages students to review and connect the assigned readings from week to week.
