Question

In Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, he tells Southerners who have seceded the following:

I hold that in contemplation of universal law and of the Constitution the Union of these States is perpetual. Perpetuity is implied, if not expressed, in the fundamental law of all national governments. It is safe to assert that no government proper ever had a provision in its organic law for its own termination.
Which type of appeal does President Lincoln use in these lines to try to persuade Southerners?

Answer 1

Lincoln uses logic/logos to appeal

Answer 2

Logos

Step-by-step explanation:

Logos refers to an appeal based on logic. When an author uses logos, he wants to convince his audience of his position by using evidence and logical arguments. In these lines, Lincoln tells the audience that the union of the states is protected by the Constitution and by natural law. He also tells them that there is no provision in its organic law for its own termination. These are pieces of evidence that support Lincoln's arguments.
