One of the rhetorical techniques that Jefferson uses in the Declaration of Independence is repetition. This is used to great effect in the body of the document, as he is listing the grievances that the colonists hold against the King. After starting the declaration with a logical account of the colonists’ need to establish independence, Jefferson then delineates all of the reasons that King George has given them to revolt. He gives 27different transgressions that King George has committed, all beginning with the words “He has” or “For.” The first one, for example, is

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

The effect of repetition in this section of the document is to emphasize how unfairly the British have treated the colonies. Putting all the grievances together in this fashion, with the repeated introductory word(s) gives the impression that the list just goes “on and on.”

2)Glory was released in 2014 in the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement
3)This song was released as the theme song from the 2014 film “Selma”, which portrays the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches. The movie showcased the battle of the Civil Right movement from 1965. The lyrics made reference to many important events of the Civil Right movement like Rosa Parks' resistance on the bus, the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MLK’s work, Jim Crow laws. “One day when the glory comes” “.. Now the war isn’t over” indicating that decades after the Civil Right movement discrimination against African Americans is still alive, the work isn’t still done yet. “Saw the face of Jim Crow under a bald eagle”, interpreting that the constitution and laws of this land support the Jim Crow laws. There was also many references to the crucification of Jesus Christ which points out that religion was also a very big part of the Civil Right movement
