In the excerpt shown above, we can see that the author made extensive use of the rhetorical device called logos. The logos is a rhetorical device used by the authors to invoke a speech based on logic.
We can see the use of logos in the above excerpt, because the author shows that it is more logical that debtors are loose and not locked in chains. This is because when debtors are arrested, they are unable to work for the country, generate wealth and, consequently, generate power for the nation. In other words, debtors have the potential to be useful to the country, but when they are imprisoned, that potential is totally wasted and ends up weakening the nation.
Therefore, governments must establish policies that prevent debtors, who offer no danger to society, from being punished for their debts in a useful way for the country, through work and income generation.
Know, because know is present tense as is the rest of the sentence.
