Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We stand today at the threshold of a great event both in the life of the United Nations and in the life of mankind. This Universal Declaration of Human Rights may well become the international Magna Carta of all men everywhere. We hope its proclamation by the General Assembly will be an event comparable to the proclamation of the Declaration of the Rights of Man by the French people in 1789, the adoption of the Bill of Rights by the people of the United States, and the adoption of comparable declarations at different times in other countries.

Which rhetorical technique does Roosevelt use in this passage?

parallelism
loaded language
historical allusions
repetition
Some governments will reject the UDHR unless it states that everyone must have equal access to public service.
