MAGNA CARTA

The Magna Carta can be defined as an ancient and very important testimony of human rights. In 1215, after King John of England violated a number of the ancient laws and customs that governed England, he was forced by his subjects to sign the Magna Carta, which listed what were later considered the rights humans.

petition right

The next testimony in the evolution of human rights was the Petition of Rights, created in 1628 by the English Parliament and sent to Charles I. The king had in fact established that for economic reasons the soldiers had to stay in the homes of citizens and those who opposed was punished with death. The Petition of Rights was based on previous laws and statutes, similar to those of the Magna Carta.

CONSTITUTION OF THE USA

The Constitution of the United States of America, written in Philadelphia, is the fundamental law of the US government and is the oldest written national constitution currently in use; it defines the principal bodies of government and their jurisdictions, as well as the basic rights of citizens .

DECLARETION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN AND CITIZENS

In 1789 the French population abolished the absolute monarchy, preparing the basis for the creation of the first French Republic. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizens was adopted by the National Assembly as the first step towards drafting a constitution for the French Republic. The Declaration proclaims that all citizens must be guaranteed the rights of “liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression”.

bill of rights

The Bill of Rights protects freedom of speech and religion, the right to keep and bear arms, freedom of assembly, and freedom of petition. It also prohibits cruel punishment and the government from depriving any person of his life, liberty, or property without due process of law. It also prevents a second trial for the same crime.

UNIVERSAL DECLARETION OF HUMAN RIGHTS

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted on 10 December 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly. It was written to avoid the recurrence of conflicts and violence and establishes the inalienable rights of every human being, without distinction of race, sex, religion, political ideology. 70 years after that moment, the Universal Declaration still represents one of the most important achievements in the history of international law.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS

The theme of women's rights developed legally at the end of the 19th century with the first great achievement of women: the right to vote. Women have gained their rights through feminist movements and struggles for gender equality. Over time, activists like Susan B. Anthony and Emmeline Pankhurst have fought for the right to vote. Continued struggles have led to legislative changes, improving equality and women's rights in many societies.
