Did all four of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms promote liberty? According to National Archives, “Roosevelt’s 1941 State of the Union Address, commonly known as the “Four Freedoms” speech. In it he articulated a powerful vision for a world in which all people had freedom of speech and of religion, and freedom from want and fear. It was delivered on January 6, 1941 and it helped change the world.” There are four four freedoms in this speech. According to Wikipedia they are “Freedom of Speech, by Booth Tarkington (February 20, 1943). Freedom of Worship, by Will Durant (February 27, 1943). Freedom from Want, by Carlos Bulosan (March 6, 1943). Freedom from Fear, by Stephen Vincent Benét (March 13, 1943; the date of Benét’s death).” Freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. 

Freedom of speech (also called Free Speech) gives you the right to say whatever you want to say and no one can take that away from you. But just because you can say things doesn’t mean that you should. 

Freedom of worship gives you the right to worship what you want to. No one can stop you from going to places that you want to worship, or stop you from worshiping. 

Freedom of want means that you don’t have to worry where your food comes from, where you live or anything like that. Although you should make sure that you have a way of income. 

Freedom of fear gives you the right to fear whatever you want to, whether it’s the government, military, war, etc.

According to the dictionary, freedom is “the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.” According to the dictionary, liberty is “the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one’s way of life, behavior, or political views.” So freedom is not exactly liberty, but yes it did.
