10 The function of the UN Charter is most similar to the function of: (A) The Declaration of Independence (B) The U.S. Constitution (C) The Communist Manifesto (D) A judicial decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court

1. We first note that the UN Charter is a foundational document that outlines the principles, rights, and responsibilities governing the relations among member nations. 2. Similarly, the U.S. Constitution is a foundational document that establishes the structure and functions of the U.S. government and sets out the rights and duties of its citizens. 3. In contrast: - Option (A), the Declaration of Independence, expresses a political statement of separation rather than establishing governmental structure. - Option (C), the Communist Manifesto, is primarily an ideological document setting forth political ideas. - Option (D), a judicial decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court, interprets the law rather than establishing a governmental framework. 4. Therefore, the function of the UN Charter is most similar to that of the U.S. Constitution. \[ \text{Answer: } B \]
