Four Freedoms

Roosevelt was President of the United States at the time of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He was working on foreign relations with nations like Japan. Because of this, the attack on Pearl Harbor was quite unexpected. It is not surprising that Roosevelt used his presidential authority over the United States to help gain the trust of his audience. He also used examples that involved God, and because a majority of Americans at this time were Christian, this aspect also added to his authority because it led congressmen to trust him. In his speech, Roosevelt used a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos, to not only make the nation feel safer, but also to make them appeal to his point of view and his ideas about how to handle the situation by declaring a state of war. He used his authority as President and the pride of the citizens to support his argument and he also backed up his thoughts with facts. The speech was very well delivered, especially considering the intended audience. The majority of his audience consisted of congressmen. They were citizens of the United States who were most likely well educated in politics and war. The way he incorporated his authority, their pride, and factual evidence, in his speech was extremely effective

In the speech, Day of Infamy, FDR talks about the events of Pearl Harbor. FDR talks about how the US is now entered into World War II basically because of this event, he tells that the US is going to war with Japan specifically at first. He is explaining to the Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate, and and the House of Representatives what conclusion he has come up with. He uses rank in the government to show that he knows what he is talking about. Mostly FDR is trying to get the people in the room on his side with facts, and emotion backing him in more ways than one.

Franklin D. Roosevelt took office in November 1940 in the middle of the Great Depression. The stock market was in chaos, the world around us was in turmoil: Adolph Hitler was controlling Germany, France falling into the powers of Germany, Axis power almost had complete control of Europe. Many strongly opposed about not going to war but Roosevelt was trying to encourage the joining of the United States into World War 2. His speech “Four Freedoms” was giving 2 years after World War 2 had started, his significance in this announcement was

Hours after Pearl Harbor was bombed by Japan, gaining worldwide headlines, giving millions unanswered questions, the speech, Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation was given one day after the event. On December 8th 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave a speech to be remembered today, by using rhetorical devices and figurative language to strongly picture his message to the public, making great use of parallel structure, personification, parallelism, and climax ordering to enforce his key point of wanting Americans to stand up against the Japanese forces for the deliberate actions done towards there peaceful country, with no threat or hint of war or of an armed attack. With hopes of gathering support for the decision to declare war on Japan.

The Fourth Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights which was established in the seventeenth and eighteenth century English common law. Aside from the rest of the amendments in the Bill of Rights the Fourth Amendment can be traced back to a strong public reaction from some cases back in the 1760s. Two of these cases happened in England and one case happened in the colonies. These cases involved some pamphleteers who would pass out pamphlets to the public in order to spread their word around. These pamphlets however ridiculed the king and his ministers. After finding this out the king issued warrants to have the pamphleteer’s homes ransacked and stripped of all their books and papers. Even back then the pamphleteers knew that their rights

Freedom is defined as the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. There are different forms of freedom, two of which are physical and mental freedom. People advocate the rights of both physical and mental freedom of others who can not. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Malala Yousafzai fought for physical freedom whereas John F. Kennedy fought for mental freedom. In order to be completely free, someone must posses both physical and mental freedom.

FDR’s use of rhetoric continues to motivate his audience and makes them understand the significance of entering the war. Prior to the speech FDR presented, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii which killed over 2,300 Americans. The attack also sank twelve battleships, hurting the American navy.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) addressed the nation in a “fireside” chat on December 29, 1940 called “The Arsenal of Democracy” ("Franklin Delano"). It was one of twenty-eight fireside chats that Roosevelt would eventually give, but it would become known as one of his best speeches (Roosevelt xi). In this chat he again used the radio to talk to Americans in their homes, where it felt relaxed and informal, despite addressing a serious issue that our nation faced (Roosevelt xi). Roosevelt wanted to tell the people of the United States about the threat caused by the Axis powers’ assault on Great Britain. He felt that America had a responsibility to help Britain and in doing so maintain our national security. President Roosevelt took a strong stance on the need to support Britain and in his speech laid out a plan to build an “arsenal of democracy” in the United States that would protect our country as well as our allies ("Franklin Delano").

President Franklin Roosevelt, in his Four Freedoms Speech, Americans heard a list of four essential freedoms that they should work toward for the future. They include “freedom of speech and expression – everywhere in the world,” “freedom of every person to worship God in his own way – everywhere in the world,” “freedom from want,” and “freedom from fear.” These freedoms aren’t limited to the national picture; rather, President Roosevelt focuses on the international,

In Second Bill of Rights speech; the President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed a rundown of rights amid his State of the Union Address on January 11, 1944. In this speech; Roosevelt recommended that the country had come to perceive, and ought to now execute, A Second Bill of Rights. Roosevelt's contention was that the political rights ensured by the constitution and the Second Bill of Rights had demonstrated deficient to guarantee us equality in the quest for happiness. Roosevelt's cure was to announce a monetary Bill of Rights which would ensure eight particular rights including work, with a living compensation; food, apparel and recreation; ranchers' rights to a reasonable salary; freedom from unreasonable rivalry and monopolies; lodging;

Envision a party where there are people drinking and using drugs. The music is loud, and people are getting intense hallucinations. The neighbors disturbed by the ruckus called the authorities reporting substance use by minors. Police soon arrive soon and search the house and look around, but can the police search the house without a warrant? Would this be legal? The Fourth Amendment, with the precedent set by the Fourth Amendment viable circumstances search and seizure is ethical because it protects citizens from an unlawful entry, yet allows law enforcement to collect evidence that can be used in court.

“ The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

In my view of the three distinct rights under the Fourth Amendment, which are liberty, property and privacy, I consider privacy to be the most important, especially in today’s technological environment.

The Fourth Amendment reads: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated and no Warrant shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or things to be seized” (Smentkowski, 2014). The Fourth Amendment clearly states that an individual has the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, but what constitutes a search? The Bill of Rights was created due to the founders and the authors of the Constitution wanting to protect and preserve the rights of the citizens. The Fourth Amendment

In this speech it was crucial for FDR to use an emotional appeal to the American people, without it the people may not have really considered helping the European allies. Using pathos in a speech is a way for the speaker and the audience to connect on a more personal level, in this case it took away from the separation from the government and its people, allowing FDR to be a relatable human who cares of the well being people in need. During the second line in his speech FDR is able to create a sense of urgency to the matter by making the audience think about how this could affect their families down the road is action is not taken. “This is not a fireside chat on war. It is a talk on National security; because the nub of the whole purpose of your president is to keep you now, and to your children later, and your
