First, create a short-answer response that identifies the type of format that is used to organize the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Cause-and-effect format, sequential or comparative. Note, more than one type of organization can be identified. Next, explain how the form(s) of organization you selected help you understand the document.

Answer: You should have identified both cause-and-effect and sequential format. The declaration is based on the abuses of peoples’ rights during World War II and the early 20th century. Thus, the human rights outlined were an effect of these abuses. The declaration is also listed in a sequential format. The rights are listed as sequential articles. Each article is explained to the reader to help understand the meaning of basic human rights of individuals.
