In "Four Freedoms Speech," how does Roosevelt develop his idea about the country’s obligation to other democracies?


1. By using language that emphasizes rights, dignity, justice, and morality, Roosevelt suggests that America should help nations where these are threatened.

2. By referencing historical events, Roosevelt clearly identifies instances when other democracies came to the aid of the United States.

3. Using imagery, Roosevelt creates a vivid description of how the people of all democracies suffer when dictatorships take over anywhere.

4. By making allusions to significant challenges in American history, he suggests that America has always involved itself in conflicts across the world.
