    Comparing Woodrow Wilson's "Fourteen Points, 1918" (document 1) to Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms, 1941" (document 2), I think Wilson's ideas influenced Roosevelt through giving Roosevelt a chance to prove his political skills and succeed where his predecessor had failed.

Together, both came up with the Joint Declaration.…

Personally, I think the discrepancy really lies in the nature of the American Creed and its principles that abide within it.…
