On January eleventh ninteen hundred & forty-four, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in a message to Congress on the State of the Union, proposed we accept "a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all—regardless of station, race, or creed. Among these are..."

• First Right
  The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation
  

• Second Right
  The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation
  

• Third Right
  The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living
  

• Fourth Right
  The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad
  

• Fifth Right
  The right of every family to a decent home
  

• Sixth Right
  The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health
  

• Seventh Right
  The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment
  

• Eighth Right
  The right to a good education
  
  

  "All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.

  America’s own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for our citizens."
