In 1941, Franklin Roosevelt defined what he thought were the four basic freedoms of the American People:
Freedom of Speech
Freedom of Worship
Freedom from Want
Freedom From Fear
The second two, according to his aide later, were specifically aimed local political events (rise of Hitler). Here's the section of the speech of interest:
In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression — everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way — everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants — everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear, which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor — anywhere in the world.
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called "new order" of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.

i dont see why you cant go a number of ways with this - there's not going to be one ultimate answer youre going to find.
if it were me, id look at the Great Depression. People wanted and people feared. Roosevelt's New Deal meant to establish that the gov't has an obligation to free people of wants and fears with increased social programs. one may agree or disagree, but it gets to the heart of the question with an empirical example you can debate with in your paper.

They are basic human rights, the right of every man, like the right to education.
