Read the excerpt from the Declaration of Sentiments by Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their duty to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of the women under this government, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to demand the equal station to which they are entitled.
How does Stanton use pathos as a rhetorical appeal?
by describing one young woman’s unfulfilled potential
by emphasizing the injustices endured by women
by explaining laws that govern marriages
by establishing her authority to question the status quo
Answer:
by emphasizing the injustices endured by women
Explanation:
Pathos is simply evoking the feeling of pity or sadness in a person.
Stanton uses pathos as a rhetorical appeal to <u>emphasize the injustices endured by women</u> as she evokes pity through this line in the excerpt <u><em>Such has been the patient sufferance of the women under this government, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to demand the equal station to which they are entitled </em></u>where she talked about the long-suffering of the women through long trains of "abuses and usurpation"
