Go to http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/ and read the declaration

1. Choose the FIVE rights that you think are the most important (this can be the ones that are important to you personally, or the ones you think have the biggest impact on humanity)

1,2,3,4 and 7

1. Are there any rights on this list that you think should not be guaranteed human rights? If so, why not? Are there any rights that you think SHOULD be on the list, but aren’t?

I think article 5 because some crimes actually deserve cruel punishment. I can't think of any rights to add.

1. Find a right on the list that is not guaranteed by the US government. Why do you think this right is not protected by the US government?

Article 20 is not guaranteed. There have been many instances where peaceful protests were met with police violence. This is most likely not protected because it threatens the people in charge and their decisions. It also makes America look divided in the eyes of foreign countries which is a downside to the U.S. government.
