About this text

Article twenty five closes with care for mothers and children, and article twenty six opens the right to education. The declaration was drafted in English and French, and both texts count as originals. Numbered clauses appear as a digit, a full stop and a space, a pattern worth drilling on its own. Eleanor Roosevelt hoped the document would become an international Magna Carta for all people.
