Abstract

In early 1944 the victory of the Allied forces in World War II was already almost certain. The question was to know which peace would follow the bloodiest armed conflict that history had ever known. It was in this context that, on January 11, 1944, in his speech to Congress on the state of the Union, President Frank Delano Roosevelt launched his proposal for a ‘Second Bill of Rights’.
