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.

It can be said that society wants to punish the guilty;however, they are cautious when doing so. Society is afraid that the justice system is placing an innocent person behind bars for every ten people that are being set free. Our judicial system was put in place to protect the innocent and put the guilty behind bars; however, this is not so. We have a corrupt society that contradicts itself from the lowest court system to the highest government powers of Congress. When one political power takes control, it's like a gang or "mafia" take over with the people suffering without a voice.
