Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is A): She chaired the committee that drafted the United Nation’s “”Universal Declaration of Human Rights.””

Explanation:

After the end of the Second World War, and the death of Roosevelt Franklin, new president Harry Truman appointed Eleanor Roosevelt as a delegate to the United Nations. She chaired or became the head of the United Nation’s Human Rights Commission and made a great impact by helping to formulate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which she personally submitted to the General Assembly (United Nations). The significance of her work gained wide acceptance, and appears in the constitutions of many nations that are really interested in protecting the rights of men and women.
