Effective Rhetoric

Description

Political discourse is characterized in part by the use of rhetoric, which can be defined as the use of effective arguments employed to persuade an audience. According to Aristotle (The Rhetoric 350 B.C.) rhetoric employs three types of proof: logos (logical and factual), pathos (emotional), and ethos (credibility and authority of speaker/writer). As we have seen in our study of the constitutional ratification debate, Federalists and Anti-Federalists alike employed a range of rhetorical proofs in defense of their own brand of republicanism. Identify one or two examples of each type of proof that stand out as particularly effective or insightful, providing specific arguments and quotations from one or more Federalist and/or Anti-Federalist essays to support your analysis. Your writing must be detailed, objective and professional in tone, reflecting your own analysis of source content. The introduction must clearly identify the purpose of the analysis, and content must align with the research purpose.
