EQ – What can we learn from primary sources to understand the Brief History of Human Rights? The Magna Carta holds our constitution in a good esteem. It describes nothing about any religion, peaceful protests, whether wrong turns into right. This primarily applies foreigners as well as citizens too. For today's world, you can say, there's always misunderstandings but its become a foundation built by people. In a society, human rights are weak/repellent towards mighty people. For sure will help us stay free.

ReplyDeleteThe Sources on your website taught me the history of human rights and where human rights all started. Human rights began in 1215 after King John didn't treat his people fairly or rule the correct way during his reign. On June 15, 1215, the result of the negotiation was written down by the King’s clerk which is known as the document, Magna Carta. Magna Carta was the 1st to give people new rights and made the king subject to the law. After King John died Magna Carta was reissued several times until it was finally made part of the English Law. Following the Magna Carta was The Petition of Right. During King Charles 1 reign English citizens felt his overreach of authority was a major violation of their civil rights. Everything that Charles was doing undermined Magna Carta and Habeas Corpus. The Parliament wouldn’t back down to stop Charles, so Charles decided on June 7,1628, to ratify the Petition of Right that was written by the Parliament. The Petition of Right set out the rights for people. Following, The Petition of Right came The United States Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence was made on July 4, 1776, to announce and explain separation from Great Britain. The Declaration of Independence was the first formal statement by a nation's people stating their right to choose their own government. So the 13 colonies could be their own nation and not be under the law of Great Britain. Secondly, came The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. In France, The Assembly decided to draft a new constitution By using ideas of the Enlightenment and the original principles of the French Revolution they made The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Which contained 17 articles which listed rights, such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and separation of powers. This document of France which was issued on August 26, 1789, stated that all citizens were equal under the law. Finally came The Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was a document drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world. The document was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948. The document is listed 30 standard rights that apply to every human being. Human rights have been universally protected and have been translated into 500 languages. The history of human rights shows that if it wasn’t for the people and citizens being able to step up against our authoritarian or higher power figures we wouldn't have gotten where we are now. Now today in America and everywhere around the world people have rights.

ReplyDeleteLearning about human rights is knowledge that everyone should know or take a chance to learn them because they are mandatory in life and everything else. The Magna Carter, also known as “The Great Charter” is an important document established by the rebels who captured King John and was used as a peace treaty between the two for everyone including our leaders to follow the law and guarantee the rights of individuals, the right to justice and the right to a fair trial. Since the Magna Carter was created, its main purpose was to stop leaders who abuse their power and force them to follow the law as normal citizens. This document was also used during the Stuart period, and particularly in the English Civil War where it “striped” the rights of Monarchs when Monarchs at the time were extremely powerful. Not only do the citizens follow the law but certain leaders also follow the law such as the Constitutional Monarchy. So I learned that primary sources such as a document in the past, human rights were unfair because the king has more power due to his position and a new document was made to justify those rights and make them equal even if the leader is in a high position.

After studying the materials on this blog it helped me get a much better understanding on human rights. Human rights are the basic rights and freedom that belongs to all of us from birth to death. They began after the draft committee of different legal and cultural backgrounds from all religions of the world drafted the document of human rights. The document is listed in 30 standad ights that apply to everyone. The declaration was proclaimed on December 10th 1948, human rights are inherent to all human beings regardless of sex or race. Without human rights there is no justice this is why they are so important.

ReplyDeleteThe material I studied about primary sources on human rights taught me that each right should justify every person no matter who they are. The Universal Deceleration of Human Rights are about 70 years old, it was known as the Magna Carta for all men everywhere. These rights were seen as prior treaties it recognized equal status to all humans. Some examples of human rights are, "Freedom of religion", "Right to a fair trial when charged with a crime" etc. These rights had doubts because they were not always followed legally. They are seen to protect you but in some cases they are held against you when you are not familiar with these rights. Human rights addresses a lot of specific problems such as ending slavery, available education and preventing genocide. You do not have to be a specific person or have a specific religion to have human rights. Although, some rights like the right to vote, adult citizens have that right are held in one's country. Human rights are enacted among all. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/rights-human/

ReplyDeleteDeclaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen
In this article it stated what this was. This was one of the basic charters of human liberties, containing the principles that inspired the French Revolution. It included 17 articles and served as the preamble to the constitution of 1791. The basic principle of this declaration is that all men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Some other points in this declaration included freedom of speech and religion. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen came to be recognized as “the credo of the new age.” Some other parts of the declaration included the following, laws can only prohibit actions harmful to society, people are innocent until proven guilty, and punishments for crimes should match the severity of the crime. The reason people see this declaration as the credo of the new age is because a lot of the articles on it are still in effect today. What I learned from studying this material is that a lot of material written during this time is stilled used today.

DeleteHuman rights came a long way globally. Over time people started to receive regular human rights. One of them for example slavery. Colored people of that time literally had no rights.

There were laws that gave them their rights and that are still here today. People from all over the world gained rights over time and they still remain a law till this day. Not everyone around the world has the same amount of equal rights. Some countries are still in someway under slavery. As Americans we live in a democratic economy and places like Cuba never have the right to vote because they are in a dictatorship. The laws of America regarding our rights made us more liberal citizens giving us more control over our life. This is beneficial to us because even though we are under the laws of the government we are more independent citizens. Human rights at first were basic and essential to life. Like freedom of speech and freedom of religion. America as a country is the country of freedom because we are lucky and privileged to have the type of freedom and rights that we have. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights show us the progress we have made regarding rights of the last 7 decades. It is a global document that is translated in 500 languages showing all of the rights that humans have accomplished world wide.

You can learn that in 1628 king charles people believed that he violated their rights. in 1948 the univesal declaration of human rights became a milestone in the history of human rights.The basic principle of the declaration of the rights of man of the citizen was that all men are born and remain free and equal in rights.

ReplyDeleteIn this article it expressed what this was. This was one of the contracts of human freedoms, containing the rules that started the French Revolution. It included 17 articles and filled in as the constitution of 1791. The fundamental guideline of this assertion is that all men are conceived and stay free and equivalent in rights. Some different focuses in this statement included the right to speak freely and religion. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen came to be perceived as "the philosophy of the new age." Some different pieces of the statement incorporated the accompanying, laws can just don't allow activities hurtful to society, individuals are blameless until demonstrated liable, and disciplines for wrongdoings. The explanation individuals consider this to be as the philosophy of the new age is on the grounds that a great deal of the articles on it are still as a result today. What I gained from contemplating this material is that a great deal of material composed during this time is stilled utilized today. https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript

DeleteFrom my understanding of the articles I've read I understand that human rights are granted to humans for their basic needs to live. I believe that these rights help humans be protected from the more powerful. In 1215 a ruler named King John had treated people in a unfair manner due to him having so much authority and power over people that Magna Carta had put rules out to ease the mistreatment towards these people. From this we can get an understanding that these rules will help for everyone to know they are worthy. Everyone had acknowledge of their rights until 1628 when King Charles had defiled their rights which caused chaos. But in 1948 the declaration of human rights came to be and this let citizens know that they are initialed to their own rights and they should receive the same equal treatment as anyone else and that they're free. All these links tells a basic understanding on how the human rights came to be and the journey it took and the challenges people faces to get what we all deserve.

ReplyDeleteHumans rights are rights that all humans have regardless of race, gender, or any other difference. These rights allow people to live in a society where they have equal opportunity and ability to thrive in society. Primary sources can teach us the evolution of human rights and how we got to the number of rights we have today. For example, from our primary sources we can see that human rights started around 1215 with the Magna Carta. This gave people new rights and made the king subject to the law. Also, from primary sources, we can learn the language in which these documents were written. From this, we can understand the author’s attitude and see how enthusiastic they are about the topic of human rights. All in all, primary sources can allow us to understand the evolution of human rights and see the enthusiasm that surrounds this topic.

ReplyDeleteAccording to The Petition of Right, King Charles (who's been exercising too much power, such as raising taxes unreasonably and imprisoning without trial those who did not pay up) found himself in a lot of confrontations. Five knights tried to secure their freedom by arguing that the crown had the power to commit people to prison without stating a specific legal reason. 1628 Charles turned to Parliament and the House of Commons conveyed its determination to secure a strong commitment from the King to observe the rule of law. Therefore no taxes could be imposed without Parliament's consent, no English subject could be imprisoned without cause, and no quartering of soldiers in citizens homes. What I’ve gathered from this is that no matter if you're poor or rich you have equal rights. Human rights has been through history and it’s still a problem today.

ReplyDeleteHuman rights are the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family which are the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. Basically saying human rights are the simple rights that all humans have from the day they are born till the day they die. Human rights began in 1215, when many different cultural and legal groups from all around the world drafted human rights. The Declaration was officially proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on December 10th 1948. There are 30 articles of the universal declaration. Two of the articles are: Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms that are in the 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. And Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person. These rights were more so made for young people. Without human rights people wouldn’t be treated fair and equal due to their race, gender, age, religion etc., but because of the universal declaration EVERYONE has to be treated fair and live equal lives no matter their race, religion, gender, and age etc.

ReplyDeleteToday I learned about the importance of human rights and how we take for granted the amount of things we do on a daily basis. With the primary source given to me I was able to learn about the Magna Carta and how it influenced things like the “Bill of rights” and the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights”. The protection that we now have has vastly improved, we can say things without being penalized for it and do certain actions that go against things like religious belief. The Magna Carta would still be used as an inspiration for new laws, which is very surprising knowing how old it is and to know people are going back and using it to get new ideas. Not many people know about the Magna Carta and will probably never hear it in their lives and unfortunately they won’t know how lucky they are to live during this time because now we have more freedom than ever.

From studying the sources, I've learned how major it was for people to be able to secure basic rights for themselves and others. Some important human rights are that all people are born free & equal, that they have the right to liberty, and that they shall not be tortured or enslaved. The human rights were basically made to stop abuses of power. There are many documents across the world that establish these rights, but they can be misleading. The Magna Carta website talks about how the Magna Carta has made a big impact on the Declaration of Independnce and the Constitution for how humans are treated but really, it tells nothing about giving people personal freedoms and would not help people in checking abuses of power (so it's a good thing we actually have the Constitution). The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is said to be a common standard of rights for all people and all nations, and has even been translated into over 500 languages. It summarized in 30 articles the things everyone in the world should be entitled to. But it is not a law, so many of its human rights remain ignored by some countries. Through research, I've seen that it is much easier to write what human rights are supposed to be, than to actually have all people follow them. That doesn't mean the articles of human rights are not important; most articles do actually have the rights as laws, but some are basic decencies that can be ignored or easily abused. This is why we must be taught human rights because it is important for people to believe in them even if they are not official laws.

ReplyDeleteLearning about human rights is information that everybody should know or take a risk to learn since they are required throughout everyday life. The Magna Carta holds our constitution in a decent regard. It portrays nothing about any religion, tranquil fights, regardless of whether wrong transforms into right. This primarily applies to outsiders just as residents as well. There are always misunderstandings, but it has become the foundation built by society. People with higher authority tend to treat people lower than them differently due to their title. Ever since the Magna Carter was created, it was made to stop people who abuse their authority. Without these rights people would be taken advantage of and there wouldn’t be order or structure.

The Magna Carta may look like a plain unassuming piece of parchment but in reality, it is one of the most famous documents in the world. The Magna Carta means" The great charter." Magna Carta has become a powerful symbol of liberty for the simple fact, that it gave all free men the right to justice and a fair trial.It also explains that no man shall be arrested except by the law of land. The Carta however only applied to free men but not UN-free peasants. Magna carter has been re-issued many times until it was made part of English law. The Carta is echoed in the united states declaration of Independence and the universal declaration of human rights. Its most important legacy is that everyone including leaders must obey the law. To know about the Magna Carta we had to know about Primary sources because primary sources elaborate on the cause of things that happen in today's society. Primary sources further explain what happened long ago and that why we know about the Magna Carta now.

DeleteInteresting thoughts Francisco...I agree this was important for criminal related rights.
DeleteAngellise-
DeleteI like your answer. Good details.
It is important to learn about human rights. Everyone should have the chance to learn about them. The Magna Carter is an important document because it brought a peace treaty between the people and the leaders. The document granted rights to individuals, right to justice, and the right to a fair trial. The number one purpose of the Magna Carta was to put a stop to leaders who abused their power and to treat them like a normal citizen. This document was also used during the Stuart period not only then but in the English War as well. I learned that primary sources especially documents helped make up the human rights. Back then human rights were unfair because the king had all the power over the people but they created a document to make the king and the people equal no matter their royalties.

ReplyDeleteFrom the Primary source, I read about the petition of rights i learned that King Charles found himself in a series of confrontations with his Parliaments, notably over the management of his war with Spain and this was a very monumental event in history. I also learned that Refusal by Parliament to finance the king's unpopular foreign policy had caused his government to exact forced loans and to quarter troops in subjects' houses as an economy measure. The idea of the petition of right was suggested by Edward Coke. The primary source really helped me understand that the petition of right was regarded as having the same status as an Act of Parliament, and was therefore as strong a guarantee of the subjects's rights as Magna Carta itself.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created to inform people of their rights regardless of their race, gender, etc. It was the first document to list all 30 rights each individual has from the moment they are born. The primary source I read was talking about the preamble which lead into each of the 30 rights we have. The preamble's purpose was to eliminate political, social, and economic inequality in society. In fact, human rights should indeed be protected by the rule of law. The first right basically states that each human is born free and equal in dignity and rights. This first right allowed them to come up with 29 other ones that we are born with. Without these rights, we wouldn't be able to speak up or have certain authority over things we believe in. By reading this primary source I understand that it must have took a long time to come up with these rights that each individual has and it also informed me on rights that I did not know that I have. It gave me a whole different perspective on what the world should actually look like and feel like. No matter our gender, race, or religion, we are equal and have the same rights since birth.

From the source that I have found, I've learned many things about our human rights. For instance, Human Rights are the United Nations Universal Declaration if Human Rights, which also by the Council of Europe, the Organization of American States,etc. Also, every Human Rights is important as every other right, but some are more fundamental than others because some are used differently. By reading this article I was able to learn more about Human Rights and it taught me things that I never knew so it was very helpful. Also, it taught me no matter what every one is the same and always will be. Lastly, everyone should learn about their Human Rights if they don't already know about them

ReplyDeleteQuestion: WHAT HAS STUDYING THE PRIMARY SOURCES TAUGHT YOU ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE HISTORY OF HUMAN RIGHTS?
- The Magna Carta was created to set boundaries for those that were higher in power, this way everyone was equal under the law.
- The Magna Carta came to be because King John ruled over his people in a dictator kind of manner. He would force people to pay taxes and if they didn't he would take away their land. Studying the primary sources of human rights has taught me that leading a nation with democracy is better than leading a nation with communism. Human Rights allow people to work together as intelligent individuals rather than slaves.

ReplyDelete- The Magna Carter, "The Great Charter" is a significant report built up by the revolutionaries. Since the Magna Carter was made, its principle reason for existing was to stop pioneers who misuse their capacity and power them to adhere to the law as ordinary residents. I learned that The Magna Carta became a symbol of liberty around the world and its still included in the law today.

ReplyDeleteFrom sources that i gathered, i learned that The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was design to give information to people about there human rights regardless of race and gender. In addition, rules were provided to people when they were first born, and of those rules were list of rules that were from the preamble that we practice till this day. The main intentions of why the preamble was made was to fix inequality in our economic, social, or political backgrounds. After reading the source i found, i understood that rights like these probably took decades to be made for people to live by, or adapt to regardless of race. Finally i believe, despite our skin color and gender, we all still play an important role to support others and our self.

DeleteGood job stating how inequality happens for more than 1 reason(ex. economic, social, and politically)

From the information and other blogs i skimmed over, I've learned that human rights universally play a significant role in our world and how it operates. The biggest two pros of human rights are the Declaration and the Magna Carta aka The Great Charter which is the Petition of United Human Rights. Both of these inform us that every human regardless of skin, gender, or race is automatically granted human rights. That's why human rights are very important because the day we lose focus of that and seeing other as humans is the day truly our world is finished. We all need to support each other and ourselves in this world.

Studying the primary (and other sources) taught me a lot about human rights and the history of human rights. In the resources they all speak highly on human rights and how they are effected by things that have been going on through history. They also explain how human rights have evolved throughout history.

Can you elaborate?
DeletePrimary sources are first hand accounts in order to increase our knowledge. The declaration of human rights created history universally. Through the document we see how they tried to build a foundation built of freedom, justice, and peace in the world. With other second hand accounts better explanations could be brought to light in order to help us understand. According to these documents we are supposed to promote respect for rights and freedoms progressively but it is hard to recognize. Of course there is progress from slavery but that doesn't equal freedom. In order to keep human rights progressively moving we need to be order to come together to make changes.

After reading this blog it helped me show signs of improvement in understanding of human rights. Human rights are the fundamental rights and opportunity that has a place with us all from birth to death. They started after the draft panel of various legitimate and social foundations from all religions of the world drafted the archive of human rights. The archive is recorded in 30 standard rights that apply to everybody. The assertion was announced on 11/10/1948, human rights are innate to every single person paying little heed to sex or race. Without human rights there is no equity this is the reason they are so significant.

ReplyDeleteAfter reading this website, it finally helped me better understand what human rights are. The phrase human rights started to become an everyday phrase during WWII. It was founded by the United Nations in 1945. It replaced the phrase natural rights, which was started to be rarely said in the 19th century. The term also replaced the phrase rights of Man because the name technically didn't include the rights of women.

ReplyDeleteThe articles I've reviewed go into details about the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights and all of its thirty articles. After reading the source, I took notice that many of the articles don't tie themselves into any political sphere (unless it mentions the article excludes itself from said politics) to keep the universality of human rights. Along with this, I like that the human rights take time to acknowledge that it applies to everyone, no matter their color, race, gender, etc. to further reflect that everyone has rights, no matter who you are. Although unnecessary to point out, this would not reflect every country, as there are some who aren't in the United Nations, but it doesn't really mean that they couldn't follow such rights if they so wanted to, if at all.
