Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I should like to comment briefly on the amendments proposed by the Soviet delegation. The language of these amendments has been dressed up somewhat, but the substance is the same as the amendments which were offered by the Soviet delegation in committee and rejected after exhaustive discussion. Substantially the same amendments have been previously considered and rejected in the Human Rights Commission. We in the United States admire those who fight for their convictions, and the Soviet delegation has fought for their convictions. But in the older democracies we have learned that sometimes we bow to the will of the majority. In doing that, we do not give up our convictions. We continue sometimes to persuade, and eventually we may be successful. But we know that we have to work together and we have to progress. So, we believe that when we have made a good fight, and the majority is against us, it is perhaps better tactics to try to cooperate.

What evidence supports Roosevelt's rejection of the amendments? Select three options.

The Human Rights Commission has already declined similar amendments.
Most of the delegations do not agree with the amendments.
The Soviet delegation has fought hard for its amendments.
The Soviet delegation is not one of the older democracies.
Other delegations have agreed to compromise to work together.
