(PLEASE ANSWER + BRAINLIEST!!!)
vaieri [72.5K]
The statement "Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law," helps develop an idea about human rights in many ways. The first is that in this statement,  it acknowledges the accused as a person not based off of social class or status, but rather the fact that they are a human being. They imply that the person has undeniable rights as a human being, or in their specific words, as a person.

Do you believe Mr. Sawicki’s characterization of Steve? Give evidence from the passage to support your answer.
KonstantinChe [14]
I have trouble believing Mr. Sawicki's characterization of Steve, because he knows Steve only in school. Since Mr. Sawicki does not know Steve outside of school, he cannot make a judgment about what Steve has been doing in his neighborhood or who his friends are. Sawicki says Steve is honest, but even if Steve is good or honest in Mr. Sawicki's opinion, good people can still make mistakes.
