I come to speak to you in defense of a cause as holy as the cause of liberty the cause of humanity . . . .

Confident and fearless.

The author states his thoughts in a convincing way, as if he was stating facts and not merely opinions, he doesn't stammer nor hesitate when defending his cause. The statements are clear and concise: "He is born, he acts, he dies". All of this can be summed up into that the language he uses is confident and fearless.
