What technique makes both excerpts effective?

Read the two excerpts from Governor George
Wallace's inaugural address,
As Thomas Jefferson said, "The God who gave us life,
gave us liberty at the same time; no King holds the right
of liberty in his hands."
O They both quote historical figures.
O They both have a counterclaim that disproves facts.

Answer:

O They both make an appeal to emotion

Step-by-step explanation:

Emotional appeal is a literary device employed by writers or speakers when they try to elicit an emotional response like anger, pity, happiness, pride, etc., from their audience. It helps in convincing the audience thus making the speaker win his argument. Thomas Jefferson employed this by appealing to the peoples' desire for liberty. Rudyard Kipling also employed this by appealing to the strength of the people located in the South of the United States.
