In this primary document, most of the information as to who, when, and where this document is from is located at the beginning, before the preamble. The beginning of the document states that it was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly. The document also states, in lesser detail, that this Constitution was drafted by representatives from all regions of the world. The beginning also says the document was proclaimed in Paris on December 10, 1948. The key quotation chosen is very good, it provides a basic look on the document. The date is not very specific on the setting of the document. The author bio could also include more information on the authors, since it was not stated, but there was more information. The summary could also include more detail, two sentences does not allow enough room to fully summarize a decently sized article.
