  • A.Bill of Rights
  • B.Universal Declaration of Human Rights
  • C.US Constitution
  • D.International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights

Answer: B

The words are Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The UDHR was adopted by the UN General Assembly on 10 December 1948. Its Article 1 reads that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, endowed with reason and conscience, and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. It sets out the foundation of equality and dignity for the rest of the Declaration.

The English Bill of Rights (1689) limited the Crown, the US Constitution's Article 1 deals with Congress, and Article 1 of the ICCPR (1966) concerns the right of peoples to self-determination.
