Answer:
The rhetoric technique that Martin Luther King uses repeatedly in the above text is the use of similes and the use of figurative language.
Explanation:
Similes are speech techniques that use the comparison of two variables interestingly.
Figurative language is the use of a word to mean differently to its custom meaning.
<em>Martin Luther King uses Socrates and Jesus figuratively to explain his ideas, since, they are not part of his topic, but have similar traits as the situation he is trying to explain, this is an example of figurative language in the above excerpt.</em>
Martin Luther in this excerpt uses similes multiple times to bring out his points.
Some of the instances where he uses similes are;
- Isn't this like condemning Socrates because his unswerving commitment to truth and his philosophical inquiries
- Isn't this like condemning Jesus because his unique God consciousness and never ceasing devotion to God's will precipitated the evil act of crucifixion?
This questions help him explain his point, it also makes the people understand his point out of the comparison of what they know to what they do not know.
Precedent means "a decision that can be legally used due to the current situation"
For example, in the US constitution:
1) "The Ratification of the Conventions of 9 states, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the states so ratifying the Same"
- It is already ratified, and so we don't really need it
2) "All debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the adoption of this constitution, shall be as valid against the US under this Constitution, as under the Confederation"
-Again, it is already ratified, note that it says "before the adoption"
3) "No person held to Service or Labour in One state, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labour, but shall be delivered up on claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due".
- We really don't need this anymore, because we don't have slavery
hope this helps
