It is known as the "Four Freedoms Speech" to the State of the Union address by President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt on January 6, 1941. It receives this name because in it Roosevelt synthesized in "four essential human liberties" the United States goals for the postwar world: freedom of speech, freedom of religion , freedom from want and freedom from fear.
The speech played an important role in propaganda during World War II; it was pronounced eight months before the United States' participation in the war. Roosevelt's wife Eleanor Roosevelt remained, after the death of her husband in 1945, an active advocate of the inclusion of the four freedoms in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations.
The correct answer is salutary neglect. The name of the policy came from a speech that the philosopher Edmund Burke gave to Parliament in the 1700s. A policy then emerged wherein the colonies were, more or less, left alone. Certainly more than they would have been as a subservient colony to the Crown.
