Hello. The question above is incomplete. The full question is:
Declaration of Independence
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. . . We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved;
The Preamble to the US Constitution
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Consider the purpose of these two excerpts, a d then compare their structure and tone, how do these element differ in the two excerpts
Answer:
The first text presents a letter structure, where a message is being transmitted to a specific person. The text represents the desire of the colonies of North America, commanded by England, to separate themselves politically and economically from the dominance of the English crown and to govern itself. This text reinforces this desire and establishes the request not to receive reprisals, for following its objectives. The text is written in a formal tone, but uses the rhetorical device that evokes the sentimentality of the interlocutor, especially when using phrases such as “appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions”.
The second text, in turn, uses the document structure and its main objective is to reinforce the desire and the need to transform the independent colonies into the best nation ever seen on the entire planet, for which the political and judicial guidelines that will be listed are listed. allowed and that will lead the nation to success, the text also uses a formal tone, but unlike the first text, the second uses devices that evoke logical archings.
