Question

How are the audiences of these two arguments different?

Answer 1

Answer:

Chamberlain is speaking to members of his nation, while  Nehru is speaking to the members of his nation's  assembly

Explanation:

Here are given excerpts from two important historical speeches; "I Believe in a British Empire" by Joseph Chamberlain and "Tryst with Destiny" by Jawaharlal Nehru.

Chamberlain's 1903 speech is directed to British nation, considering the future of the Empire, the challenges awaiting and relations to its colonies ("Now is the time when we can mold that Empire and when we and those who live with us can decide its future destinies" "Here in the United Kingdom there are some forty millions of us" "I believe their whole resources in men and in money would be at the disposal of the Mother Country in such an event")

Nehru's 1947 speech, just few hours before India's independence, was directed to the members of National Assembly, remaining them to their duties and goals in newly independent country ("It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people" "The responsibility rests upon this assembly, a sovereign body representing the sovereign people of India" "To the people of India, whose representatives we are, we make an appeal to join us with faith and confidence in this great adventure")

Answer 2

Answer:

Chamberlain was speaking to members of his nation, while  Nehru was speaking to the members of his nation's  assembly.

Explanation:

Comparing the two arguments:

In 1903, Chamberlain's speech was about the genesis, present and future of the Empire in the United Kingdom. He gave his opinion about some challenges that would spring up latter in relation to the colonies.

While Nehru's speech in 1947, was directed to the members of National Assembly, constricting them to their duties and goals just a few hours to India's independence.

So, it can be inferred that: Chamberlain was speaking to members of his nation, while  Nehru was speaking to the members of his nation's  assembly.
