Answer: c. to establish his credibility as someone who has disobeyed laws he doesn't agree with.

Ethos is a rhetorical device in which the author makes an appeal to morality. The author tries to establish his credibility through the use of moral examples in order to convince his audience. Henry David Thoreau makes an appeal to ethos in his text by describing how he lived by his own ideals. Thoreau preached civil disobedience, specifically in the form of tax avoidance. He makes an ethical claim by living in this way and personally refusing to pay his taxes.

Does this violate the first amendments freedom of religion? why or why not?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Yes, it violates the First Amendment's freedom of religion as it leads the event with a particular faith's belief regardless of the diversity of the school's pupils and the school is a public-funded establishment.

Explanation:

The First Amendment's freedom of religion refers to the right of all citizens to practice and follow any form of religion they wish to. This right secures a person from being persecuted for following a certain faith.

But in the given scenario of a public school leading a sporting event with a student-led prayer, this is a clear violation of this amendment. This is because a public school doesn't have any specific religion to adhere to, and that a practice or any act of adherence to a particular belief is a violation of the rights of the students who may be from a different faith.

Thus, this is a violation of the First Amendment.
