Fellow-citizens, pardon me, allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here today? What have I, or those I represent, to do

with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? And am I, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits and express devout gratitude for the blessings resulting from your independence to us?
Would to God, both for your sakes and ours, that an affirmative answer could be truthfully returned to these questions! Then would my task be light, and my burden easy and delightful. For who is there so cold, that a nation’s sympathy could not warm him? Who so obdurate and dead to the claims of gratitude, that would not thankfully acknowledge such priceless benefits? Who so stolid and selfish, that would not give his voice to swell the hallelujahs of a nation’s jubilee, when the chains of servitude had been torn from his limbs? I am not that man. In a case like that, the dumb might eloquently speak, and the “lame man leap as an hart.”

I believe the correct answer is that it begins with broad statements and ends with more specific ones.
In the beginning, the speaker is just presenting the general idea of the Declaration of Independence and asking certain questions. However, through those questions, he is finding appropriate answers and concluding specific ideas that he wanted to share with his audience.

What does “primitive” mean as it is used in paragraph 9?
Naily [24]

Primitive in this context is closer to innate or previously existing in the person.

Explanation:

Primitive in the sense of psychology for Freud was always something that had existed in the  person without any outside influence that would inform their behavior.

The primitive action is one that the person is ingrained to perform in the way of their own psyche and has nothing to do with outside influence over them.

This is developed in the concept of displacement and familiarization of the death principle and the life principle of Freud that is being discussed hire.
